  abstract = {{D}ating the divergence between the two known living species of coelacanths has remained a difficult issue because of the very ancient origin of this lineage of fish, which is more closely related to tetrapods than to other fishes. {W}e sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of a recently captured individual of the {I}ndonesian coelacanth in order to solve this issue. {U}sing an approach based on loglinear models, we studied the molecular divergence between the two species of coelacanths and three other pairs of species, one that has diverged recently ({P}an) and two that have diverged more distantly in the past. {T}he loglinear models showed that the divergence between the two species of coelacanths is not significantly different from the two species of {P}an. {A} detailed gene by gene analysis of the patterns of nucleotide and amino acid substitutions between these two pairs of species further supports the similarity of these divergences. {O}n the other hand, a molecular dating analysis suggested a much older origin of the two coelacanth species (between 20 and 30 million years ago). {W}e discuss the potential reasons for this discrepancy. {T}he analysis of new individuals of the {I}ndonesian coelacanth will certainly help to solve this issue.},
