Abstract
The Boulenger's Slug-eating snake Pareas boulengeri is a species of snake in the family Pareidae. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence (mitogenome) of this species was determined by shotgun sequencing. The total length of mitogenome is 16,778 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two ribosome RNA genes, and two control regions (CR). Its base composition was 31.6% for A, 24.6% for T, 14.5% for G and 29.3% for C. All the protein-coding genes in P. boulengeri were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand. The phylogenetic tree of P. boulengeri and 13 other related species was reconstructed using the maximum-likelihood (ML) method. The DNA data presented here will be useful to study the evolutionary relationships of P. boulengeri.
