Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of Laniellus langbianis by using mtDNA analysis. The results showed that mtDNA coverage percentage was as follows: twenty-two tRNA genes (8.64%), thirteen PCGs (63,10%), and two rRNA genes (14,47%). L. langbianis’s whole mitogenome had a regular A+T content of 54.1%. 13 PCGs in the L. langbianis mitogenome were estimated to be 11,262 bp long overall, making up 63,10% of the total mtDNA. The coverage range of the 22 t-RNA genes varied from 66 bp (trnS1, trnC) to 75 bp (trnL2). The tRNAs had an average base composition of A: 27.6%, T: 21.0%, G: 30.6%, and C: 20.8%. Phylogeny analysis revealed that L. langbianis is belonged to the family Leiothrichidae.
