In this study, we report the complete mitogenome sequence of Flag Tetra and find that it has 17,021 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. This information is important for taxonomic purposes and molecular characterization of environmental pollutants.
Hyphessobrycon heterorhabdus (Ulrey, 1894), popularly known as 'Flag Tetra' in English speaking countries, belongs to the genus Hyphessobrycon of the family Characidae, and is widely present in the eastern Amazon basin. Here, using Illumina sequencing, we report the complete mitogenome sequence of H. heterorhabdus. Overall, the mitogenome has 17,021 bp, containing 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes. Non-ambiguous nucleotide compositions of the H. heterorhabdus mitogenome are A: 29.2%, T: 29.4%, G: 15.6%, and C: 25.8%. As recently indicated, the phylogenetic analyses did not support four separate genera (Hemigrammus, Hyphessobrycon, Moenkhausia, and Psalidodon) of Characidae. Understanding the H. heterorhabdus mitogenome is important for taxonomic purposes as well as for the molecular characterization of environmental pollutants. Thus, the mitogenome described here will be a valuable resource for studies on environmental changes, evolutionary genetics, species delimitation, and phylogenetic analyses in Characidae.
