| Summary: | Dictyosquilla foveolata is a moderately important commercial species that is naturally distributed from Australia to Borneo, and from northwest Indonesia to Burma, Vietnam, and China. The complete mitogenome sequence of D. foveolata was first determined using Illumina HiSeq sequencing in this study. The circular genome was 15,733 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of D. foveolata is similar to those of most other stomatopods. Results from maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis showed that D. foveolata was clustered with other six species of the family Squillidae. This study will be valuable for phylogenetic analyses of the genus Dictyosquilla and the other genera of the order Stomatopoda. This is the first record of the complete mitogenome for the genus Dictyosquilla.
