Mole crabs are the high economic value of aquatic biota that has an important role in the trophic structure, but the continuous use of it can result in disruption of the population. Therefore, accurate information is needed as a reference for determining the right management base. This study aims to analyze the phylogenetic relationships of mole crabs in Yogyakarta and Purworejo coastal waters using COI gene markers. The study was conducted at Ketawang and Parangkusumo Beach. The analysis process consists of morphological and molecular identification. The results were sequenced and processed using MEGA 5. Mole crabs analysis results had a closeness value of 96.27%. The genetic distance of mole crabs from both locations is 0.000 – 0.005. Mole crabs obtained from the location were morphologically identified as Emerita emeritus and successfully validated using the COI gene with a value of 96%. Thus, mole crabs in this study have a very close kinship relationship.
