Abstract
We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Cerion uva uva (Linnaeus 1758), the type species of the type genus of the family Cerionidae. The mitogenome is 15,043 bp in length, has a base composition of A (28.3%), T (34.4%), C (17.3%) and G (20.0%), and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, as well as 22 transfer RNA genes. Gene order is the same as in Cerion incanum (Leidy 1851), but differs from those of all other Panpulmonata. This is the second mitochondrial genome sequenced within the family Cerionidae and will contribute to the assessment of the phylogeography of this family throughout the islands of the tropical western Atlantic.
