title: Mitochondrial genome of Protobothrops maolanensis (Squamata: Viperidae: Crotalinae).
abstract: Protobothrops maolanensis was recently described from Guizhou, southwestern China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of P. maolanensis had been determined. The circle genome with the 17,231 bp total length contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 control regions. Overall, base composition of the complete mtDNA was 32.96% A, 24.92% T, 29.41% C and 12.72% G. All the genes in P. maolanensis were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
