The complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean endemic earthworm <i>Amynthas susakii</i> Kobayashi 1936 (Clitellata: megascolecidae)

<i>Amynthas susakii</i> (Kobayashi 1936) is an earthworm species endemic to Korea that typically inhabits mountainous forest environments. The specimens were collected from Mount Jiri, South Korea. The complete mitogenome of <i>A. susakii</i> was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The mitogenome of <i>A. susakii</i> is a circular DNA molecule of 15,115 bp with an A + T content of 67.7%, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that <i>A. susakii</i> clustered with other <i>Amynthas</i> species in the well-supported Megascolecidae family.
