The hitherto suborder Verrucomorpha contains asymmetrical barnacles of two groups: the true Verrucomorpha PRO BPH PROSTATE FORMULA (Eoverruca + Verrucidae) and the Neoverrucidae.Here, we determined the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Altiverruca navicula, a true Verrucomorpha species.The mitogenome was 15,976 base pairs in length and had the typical pancrustacean gene arrangement.Its protein-coding genes were very similar to those of other thoracican species in terms of length, AT content, and start and stop codons.

In phylogenetic trees constructed with 13 protein-coding genes, Western Irons A.navicula was positioned at an ancestral node of sessile barnacles, consistent with the findings of previous studies.
