The complete mitochondrial genome of smooth spooner crab, Etisus laevimanus Randall, 1840 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Xanthoidea) from the East Sea, Korea

The mitogenome of the smooth spooner crab Etisus laevimanus Randall, 1840, was sequenced completely for the first time. The total E. laevimanus mitogenome length is 15,714 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one non-coding region. The gene order is consistent with that in other xanthoid species. The base composition is 32.9% A, 20.6% C, 11.6% G, and 34.9% T, with a G–C content of 32.1%. The phylogenetic analysis using the xanthoid mitogenome showed that the genus Etisus may not be monophyletic, as suggested by a few previous studies.
