The coding mitochondrial genome of crayfish <i>Cambarellus patzcuarensis</i> (Cambaridae, Decapoda) with phylogenetic analysis

<i>Cambarellus patzcuarensis</i> is a popular aquarium freshwater crayfish in China. In this study, the mitochondrial genome of <i>C. patzcuarensis</i> was sequenced using Illumina HiSeq. The coding mitogenome of <i>C. patzcuarensis</i> is 15,000 bp in length, consisting 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs. The A + T content was 70.17%. Ten PCGs had ATN as the start codon. Three PCGs were stopped with incomplete stop codon. The phylogenetic analysis shown that <i>C. patzcuarensis</i> was grouped with other <i>Procambarus</i> species. These results are useful for understanding the phylogenetic relationships of Cambaridae crayfish.
