Abstract

The complete mitogenome of the lizard Iphisa elegans Gray, 1851 was sequenced using a shotgun approach on an Illumina HiSeq 3000 platform, providing the first mitogenome for Gymnophthalmidae. The genome was 18,622 bp long, with 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA (12S and 16S), and 22 tRNA, as well as the control region. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis including I. elegans and all other available mitogenomes of Squamata provided a tree in accordance with previous phylogenetic relationships inferred for Squamata.

Keywords: Amazonia; Gymnophthalmidae; Reptilia; mitochondrial genome.
