We sequenced the complete mitogenome of the Pyrenean frog Rana pyrenaica, which was determined from an Illumina Hi-seq RNAseq run (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA). The genome is 17,213 bp in size, including 13 protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs and a control region. It shows the typical gene order of previously available frog mitogenomes, although it lacks the tRNAPhe . This is the first complete mitogenome described for a Western Palearctic brown frog species.
