Aspidogastrea is a species-poor group of the Neodermata, but it is important for understanding the evolution of the class Trematoda. Using the high-throughput sequencing method on the Ion S5 platform, data on the primary nucleotide sequence of the complete mitochondrial genome of a representative of Aspidogastrea (Aspidogaster ijimai) from the common carp Cyprinus carpio s. lato, which was obtained from a canal near Lake Biwa, Japan. The length of the mitochondrial genome of A. ijimai was 13432 bp; its sequence included 12 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a non-coding region (NCR). The location of protein-coding genes did not differ from that of the rest of Digenea, with the exception of some Schistosomatidae. The relative location of the tRNA genes for A. ijimai were coincides with those of 48% of the digenean species available in the International Gene Bank. A unique feature reflected in the mt-genome structure was the specific structure of the tRNA-Ser1 and tRNA-Trp genes. The phylogenetic relationships of A. ijimai with different members of the Neodermata, reconstructed from pooled amino acid sequences and pooled rRNA and tRNA genes, showed that Aspidogastrea is the sister group to Digenea, confirming results of previous studies.
