Popis: Non-monophyletic Poecilasmatids are deep-water epibiotic barnacles and are classified as five-capitular-plate members of the Lepadiformes. Here, we offer the first characterization of the mitogenome of a Poecilasmatid barnacle (Glyptelasma annandalei). The mitogenome was 16,107 bp long, with 72.3% AT content. Its gene arrangement was identical to that of the lepadids Lepas anserifera and L. australis, except for the location of the tRNASer gene. On the mitogenomic tree, two Lepadiformes families (Poecilasmatidae and Lepadidae) were monophyletic, which concurs with the findings of previous studies. Further mitogenomic analysis of undetermined Lepadiformes taxa is required to deepen our understanding of their phylogeny and evolution.
