Phylogenetic analyses on the Phylum Mollusks have so far been conducted by many researchers in the world. However, there was no report of taxonomic analysis on Acila (Acila) divaricata vigila belonging to Class bivalvia, subclass Protobranchia. In this study, we performed molecular phylogenetic analysis on Acila (Acila) divaricata vigila using 16S rRNA sequence through maximum likelihood method. As a result, it is clearly divided into the legion of mollusk classification unit (when you zoom in order) and represented to support the current classification in the Phylum Mollusca belong to Class bivalvia, Subclass Protobranchia, Subclass Pteriomorphia, Subclass Paleoheterodonta, Subclass Heterodonta and Subclass Anomalodesmacea. To our knowledge, this is the first report, and thus these data indicates that 16S rRNA gene will be useful for analyzing the phylogenetic relationship of Subclass Protobranchia, and also tracking the level of conservation and preservation of genetic information about the Phylum Mollusks.
