The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Protankyra verrilli</i> Théel, 1886 (Apodida: Synaptidae)
In this study, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Protankyra verrilli</i>. The 16,970 bp mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (duplications of <i>trnL</i> and <i>trnS</i>), and two ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis of the 13 protein-coding genes in echinoderms indicated that <i>P. verrilli</i> has a close evolutionary relationship with <i>Euapta godeffroyi</i> (Apodida: Synaptidae).
