The complete mitochondrial genome of the widespread freshwater limpet <i>Ferrissia californica</i>

<i>Ferrissia californica</i> (Rowell, 1863) (Gastropoda: Hygrophila: Planorbidae) is a globally distributed freshwater limpet native to North America. Based on the specimens collected in Georgia, we aimed to sequence and annotate the mitochondrial genome of <i>F. californica</i> for the first time. The mt-genome spans 13526 bp containing 13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Comparisons with the mitochondrial genomes of other gastropod molluscs revealed differences in gene organization. A phylogenetic reconstruction based on 12 protein-coding genes of several representatives from the Planorbidae and Limnaeidae families placed <i>F. californica</i> and <i>Laevapex fuscus</i> (C. B. Adams, 1840) as sister taxa.
