The complete mitochondrial genome of a cryptic species of tadpole shrimp from South Africa (Accession Number: MG770893) was recovered by low coverage shotgun sequencing.The mitogenome ACN consists of 15,216 bp with a GC content of 30.95%.COX1 sequence alignment indicates that this specimen is the most closely related to Triops granarius with a pairwise nucleotide identity of less than 90% (86.6%).

Phylogenetic analysis using whole mitogenome dataset supports Arm Cover its affiliation to the genus Triops with moderate support for its relatively basal position within the clade.
