The complete mitochondrial genome of Scorpiops tibetanus (Scorpionida; Euscorpiidae Laurie).

This study is the first to sequence and analyze the mitochondrial genome of Scorpiops tibetanus . The results showed that the total length of mitochondrial genome of Scorpiops tibetanus was 14,825 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 control region. According to the complete mitochondrial genome, the phylogenetic tree was established by the Scorpiops tibetanus and six closely related species. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the Scorpiops tibetanus is sister species to Heterometrus longimanus. This study provides theoretical references for further exploring the genetic diversity and phylogeny of scorpion.
