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 of tRNA Met gene. This study will provide fundamental data for further research to resolve population genetics of this species and systematic problems of the genus Vibrissaphora ., (© 2016 The Author(s).

The complete mitochondrial genome of a frog species Oreolalax major is 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 of tRNA Met gene. The tRNA Trp gene of Oreolalax major translocates from the "WANCY" tRNA cluster to upstream of D-loop. As the first report of the mitogenome sequence from the genus Oreolalax , it will provide fundamental data for further research of phylogeny and biogeography with this genus., (© 2016 The Author(s).
