Abstract

The Pacific limpet Cellana nigrolineata is one of the most commonly found limpets in the intertidal shores of Japan. Here, we report the full mitogenome sequence of an individual specimen of the species, which was collected from the intertidal rocky beach in the Nada beach of Gobo City, Wakayama, Japan (33.8316 N, 135.1751 E), in 2018. The sequence was determined by the shotgun sequencing method using the NGS Illumina MiSeq platform. The genomic structure of C. nigrolineata is the same as the previously reported congener, C. radiata, which shows a representative Nacellidae and metazoan mitogenomic structures. The mitogenome has all of its 37 genes included in its 16,153 bp, with one control region located between the tRNA-Cys and tRNA-Gly genes. In order to clarify the phylogenetic position of C. nigrolineata in Gastropoda, a data set including the mitogenomes of 10 patellogastropods, 10 non-patellogastropod gastropods, and four outgroups were used in maximum likelihood inferences. Although with some exceptions, the resulting phylogeny supported the monophylies of traditionally accepted gastropod subclasses, and thus confirms the position of C. nigrolineata in Patellogastropoda.
