The complete mitogenome of <i>Lyreidus stenops</i> Wood-Mason, 1887 (Decapoda: Raninidae) from the East China Sea

The frog crab <i>Lyreidus stenops</i> Wood-Mason, 1887 is primarily distributed in the East China Sea, South China Sea, and waters surrounding Japan and Korea. Its mitogenome (GenBank: PV437595) is 15,461 bp in length and comprises 13 PCGs, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and one non-coding control region. Nucleotide composition analysis showed a high AT content (70.4%). Phylogenetic analysis grouped <i>L. stenops</i> with <i>Lyreidus tridentatus</i> and <i>Lyreidus brevifrons</i> in a monophyletic clade, with the latter two species exhibiting close evolutionary relationships. This mitogenome sequence enriches the genomic dataset for the species of <i>Lyreidus</i> and will aid in resolving evolutionary dynamics within Raninidae.
