Abstract

Abstract: Stump-tailed macaque ( Macaca arctoides ) has been enlisted as the Near Threatened species in the IUCN Red List. In this study, the complete mitochondial genome of M. arctoides was determined. The mitogenome was 16, 559 bp in length with an A + T content of 56.8%, containing 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and a control region (D-loop). Ten protein-coding genes ( ND1, COX1, COX2, ND4, COX3, ND4L, ATP8, ATP6, CYTB, ND6 ) started with ATG codons, while ND2, ND3 and ND5 initiated with ATT, ATC and ATA, respectively. Eight PCGs ended with complete termination codons except for COX3, ND3, ND4, and CYTB terminated with incompleted codon T.
