The complete mitogenome of Leishan moustache toad,Vibrissaphora leishanensis,is determined. The mitogenome size is 17,485 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 23 tRNA genes and a control region (D-loop). The base composition of the whole genome is 28.1% A, 32.6% T, 24.4% C and 14.8% G. As observed in this genus before, this mitogenome also appears a tandem duplication oftRNAMetgene. This study will provide fundamental data for further research to resolve population genetics of this species and systematic problems of the genusVibrissaphora. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The complete mitochondrial genome of a frog speciesOreolalax majoris determined. This mitogenome length is 17 431 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 23 tRNA genes and a control region (D-loop). Compared with most other vertebrates, this mitogenome appears a tandem duplication oftRNAMetgene. ThetRNATrpgene ofOreolalax majortranslocates from the “WANCY”tRNAcluster to upstream of D-loop. As the first report of the mitogenome sequence from the genusOreolalax, it will provide fundamental data for further research of phylogeny and biogeography with this genus. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
