Abstract

The Chinese Hainan odorous frog, Odorrana hainanensis, is an IUCN red-listed vulnerable species found primarily in forests in Hainan, China. In this study, we firstly report the complete mitochondrial genome of O. hainanensis, which was 17986 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), two rRNA genes, and a putative control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated data set of two rRNAs and 13 protein-coding genes indicated that the O. hainanensis was clustered with O. schmackeri. This work will provide a set of useful data on further molecular evolution studies of this endangered species.
