contents Mitochondrial genome of the Spanish dancer sea slug (Nudibranchia) and its phylogenetic placement among dorids. Zhu, Ye Zeng, Wenxin Ni, Zhen Wang, Yuxin Su, Ziming Sun, Jiaqi The complete mitochondrial genome of (Rüppell & Leuckart, 1828) is 14,550 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. The genome is A + T-rich (63.2% in PCGs) with a strong bias toward A/U-ending codons, and exhibits a gene order highly conserved among dorid nudibranchs. Phylogenetic analyses consistently place within Doridina, showing close affinity to Dorididae and Chromodorididae, while its unique morphological traits-including multiple gill tufts and active swimming-distinguish it from these relatives. These mitogenomic features support the taxonomic placement of and provide a refined phylogenetic framework for dorid nudibranchs, reinforcing its value as a model for evolutionary studies in marine gastropods.
