Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p> <italic>Yerana yei</italic> (Anura: Dicroglossidae) is the only one species in the genus <italic>Yerana</italic> and the taxonomy of the <italic>Y. yei</italic> remains unresolved and controversial. The complete mitochondrial genome of <italic>Yerana yei</italic> (Anura: Dicroglossidae) was sequenced in the present study, and it is a circular molecule of 17, 072 bp in length and contains the 38 genes typically found in other anurans: 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 23 transfer RNA genes (including an extra copy of <italic>tRNA^Met</italic>). The order and orientation of the genes is the same as that found in other Paini species. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 58% (T, 29.4%; C, 27.3%; A, 28.6%; G, 14.7%) and the length of control region is 1580 bp with 67% A + T content.</p> </abstract>
