Abstract
High-throughput sequencing of an isotype specimen of Corallina ferreyrae from Peru resulted in the assembly of its complete mitogenome (GenBank accession number MK408747) and plastid genome (GenBank MK408748). The mitogenome is 25,953 bp in length and contains 48 genes. The plastid genome is 176,889 bp and contains 233 genes. The organellar genomes share a high-level of gene synteny to other Corallinales. Genetic analysis of standard marker sequences of C. ferreyrae reveals it is conspecific with C. caespitosa. Corallina ferreyrae has priority of publication over C. caespitosa, which we hereby propose as a heterotypic synonym of C. ferreyrae. These data show that C. ferreyrae is not endemic to the Peruvian coast, instead, it is widely distributed in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
