title: The complete mitogenome of Amolops loloensis and related phylogenetic relationship among Ranidae.
abstract: Rufous-spotted Torrent Frog (Amolops loloensis) is a vulnerable species, which belongs to the family Ranidae and is distributed in high-gradient streams of Sichuan and Yunnan, China. In this study, we first determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of A. loloensis (GenBank accession no. KT750963). The mitogenome sequence of A. loloensis was 18 926 bp in size. It contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a D-loop region. Amolops loloensis shared the same gene arrangement pattern with A. mantzorum. The OLstructures of A. loloensis and A. mantzorum were both located at the upstream of trnA-trnN, while the OLstructures of A. ricketti and A. wuyiensis were both located at the downstream of trnA-trnN. It is of great interest to discuss the gene rearrangement mechanisms in the following study.
