Knowledge of complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) can help understand the molecular evolution and phylogenetic relationships of various species. To date, the phylogenetic status of Leucosiidae within Brachyura remains unresolved because of the

Two cylindrical crabs, Ixa cylindrus (Fabricius, 1777) and Ixa edwardsii Lucas, 1858 are herein recorded for the first time from the coastal waters of the eastern Arabian Sea. Both species were collected from the bycatch landing of the commercial demersal

Two new complete mitogenomes of the grapsids, Metaplax longipes Stimpson, 1858 and Nanosesarma minutum (De Man, 1887) were sequenced using next-generation sequencing (NGS). By analyzing a combination of 75 Brachyura taxa, our phylomitogenomic inferences
