Echinoparyphium aconiatum (Digenea: Echinostomatidae) is an intestinal parasite of anatid and snail-eating birds. In Eurasia, it is also common in lymnaeid snails, which may serve as the first and second intermediate hosts. The systematics of its genus, Echinoparyphium, have long been inadequate, with poor descriptions and extensive synonymy. To provide a basis for developing new genetic markers for studies of the identification and systematics of echinostomatids, the complete Ep. aconiatum mitogenome is described and compared with other digeneans. The circular mt molecule of this species is 14,865 bp in length, with an average A + T content of 64.33%. It contains 12 protein-coding genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. The 3′ end of nad4L overlaps the 5′ end of nad4 by 40 bp, while the atp8 gene is absent. Twenty-one transfer RNA genes transcribe products with conventional cloverleaf structures, while one transfer RNA gene has unpaired D-arms. Comparative analyses indicate that Echinoparyphium aconiatum is closely related to Echinochasmus japonicus and Echinostoma miyagawai. The phylogenetic results, using our mitochondrial data indicated Ep. aconiatum as a sister taxon of Hypoderaeum conoideum in a monophyletic clade. Our data and analyses serve as the first representative sequenced mt genome from genus Echinoparpyhium, providing additional markers to clarify the taxonomic position of Ep. aconiatum.
