Colobus angolensis palliatus (C.a. palliatus), known as the angolan black-and-white colobus monkey, is an Old World monkey, belonging to the Colobus genus. It is a subspecies of C. angolensis. Here, we describe the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of C.a. palliatus. The genome is 16 850 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a major non-coding region. Phylogenic tree was constructed based on the complete mitogenome of C.a. palliatus and closely related 13 colobinae species to estimate their phylogenic relationship. We present an important genetic resource for the black-and-white colobus monkeys.
