Complete mitogenome and phylogenetic position of Uroctea compactilis (Arachnida: Oecobiidae)

Abstract

The mitogenome of Uroctea compactilis was 14,484 bp long. Total length of 13 protein-coding genes was 10,792 bp and nine of them were encoded on heavy strand (ND2, COX1, COX2, ATP8, ATP6, COX3, ND3, ND6, and CYTB). Lengths of the two rRNA genes were 1061 bp (16S rRNA) and 696 bp (12S rRNA), respectively, and D-Loop was 688 bp long. The phylogenetic analysis, based on the completed mitogenome sequences of 11 species in eight families, revealed that the araneomorph spiders were divided into two groups of the orb-weaving spiders (Orbiculariae) and non-orb-weaving spiders (RTA clade and Eresoidea). Within the clade of non-orb-weaving spiders, U. compactilis (Oecobiidae) formed a sister clade to the RTA clade.
