# The complete mitochondrial genome of Amolops hainanensis (anura: ranidae)

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full mitochondrial genome of the frog species Amolops hainanensis and its evolutionary relationships within the genus.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete mitogenome sequence and phylogenetic placement of Amolops hainanensis.

## Key findings

- The mitochondrial genome is 17,778 bp long with standard gene content.
- The gene arrangement is typical for neobatrachian frogs.
- Phylogenetic analysis shows Amolops is divided into two main clades.

## Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Amolops hainanensis is 17778 bp in length (GenBank accession number PP734094) and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of A. hainanensis is identical to those of other Amolops species and has a typical neobatrachian arrangement. Mitogenomic phylogenetic analysis revealed that Amolops is composed of two main clades. A. hainanensis is a member of the western clade and split from the basalmost node of the subclade composed of the other species of the western clade of Amolops.
