Deskripsi

Oreolalax xiangchengensis is an alpine toad species of Megophryidae. We determined its complete mitogenome. The mitogenome has a length of 17,110 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 23 tRNA genes, and a control region. It has a tandem duplication of tRNA-Met gene and a translocation of tRNA-Trp gene compared with typical vertebrate mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analyses based on the mitogenome sequences of 18 Megophryidae species were conducted to access phylogenetic assignments of O. xiangchengensis.
