Abstract

We determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Japanese forest green tree frog (Rhacophorus arboreus). The mitochondrial genome is 22,236 bp in length, which encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA, and 22 tRNA genes, and two control regions (D-loops). The whole gene arrangement of R. arboreus was the same as that of Rhacophorus omeimontis and Rhacophorus schlegelii.

Keywords: Mitochondrial genome; Rhacophorus arboreus.
