Abstract

Complete mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession number MN073499) for Pachytriton granulosus (Amphibia: Caudata: Salamandridae) was obtained with Sanger sequencing and assembled manually. The mitogenome consists of a circular DNA molecule of 16,288 bp, with 68.51% AT content. It comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The protein-coding genes have typical ATN (Met) start codons, except cox1 (GTG as start codon), and are terminated by typical TAN stop codons, except nad6 (AGA as start codon).

Keywords: Pachytriton granulosus; Pachytriton labiatus; Paramesotriton labiatus; mitochondrial genome; mitogenome.
