Abstract

Dryophytes suweonensis is an endangered species with fragmented and declining populations from the Korean peninsula. We described 17,448 bp of D. suweonensis mtDNA, which had a shorter D-loop than other closely related species. The variation in nucleotide composition was similar to that of Hyla tsinlingensis but was larger than the one of its sister clade, D. japonicus.

Keywords: Dryophytes suweonensis; Hylidae; mt genome.
