Description
Summary:<p>The complete mitogenome of <em>Palaemon capensis</em> is presented here. The mitogenome is 15,925 bp in length and comprises 13 protein coding genes, 2 ribosomal subunit genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding AT-rich region. The PCGs were used to perform a phylogenetic analysis together with other Caridea representatives with mitogenome data from GenBank, placing <em>P. capensis</em> sister to a clade comprising <em>P. serenus</em>, <em>P. gravieri</em>, and <em>P. carinicauda</em> in the family Palaemonidae.</p>
