Abstract
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Rana uenoi (Anura: Ranidae) for the first time. The whole sequences were 17,370 bp and included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene arrangement was completely identical to those observed from other Ranidae species. We used 11 protein-coding genes to examine the phylogenetic placement of this species in the genus Rana. Rana dybowskii was the closest sister species to R. uenoi. The clade of R. uenoi and R. dybowskii formed a cluster with Rana huarensis, which had a sister relationship with the group of Rana amurensis, Rana coreana, and Rana kunyuensis.
