The complete mitochondrial genome of Taxonus zhangi was 16,002 bp in size, comprises 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and large non-coding A + T region. The phylogenetic result confirms the monophyly of Taxonina and Allantina, and also supports that Xenapateini is the sister group of Allantini which is composed of Taxonina and Allantina.
Keywords: Allantina; Allantinae; Mitochondrial genome; Taxonina; phylogeny.
