Abstract
Vibrissaphora boringii (Anura: Megophryidae) is an endemic precious species of China. In this paper, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the V. boringii. The entire mtDNA sequence was 17,085 bp in length, which contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 23 tRNA genes and 1 displacement loop (D-loop). The base composition was 27.7% A, 25.5% C, 15.4% G and 31.5% T, with a much higher A + T content. Except for eight tRNAs and nd6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes were encoded on the heavy strand (H-strand). Molecular data presented here provide a useful tool for resolving phylogenetic and genetic problems related to this species.
