Abstract: | We are reporting the complete mitochondrial genome for the Euphractus sexcinctus flavimanus, a subspecies from South America, who is also known as yellow armadillo and six-banded armadillo. The de novo short read assembly was obtained from a west-central Brazil specimen. A typical mammalian mitogenome, containing 37 genes and one non-coding region (D-loop) was found. The total length was 16,805 base pairs and differences were observed among the E. s. flavimanus mitogenome described here and that previously reported for an E. sexcinctus unknown subspecies. Such difference was mainly due to the variation in the non-coding region. The complete mitochondrial genome described for the E. s. flavimanus is an important data source for comparative approaches, including genetic diversity studies among armadillo species and subspecies. |
