Abstract Tylototriton shanorum, an endemic species of Myanmar, is threatened by illegal capture and environmental destruction. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of T. shanorum is described. The entire mitogenome sequence of T. shanorum is 17,096 bp long, containing 13 protein coding genes, two ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, one control region. In addition, two additional 3′ Cytb like sequences and two complete tRNAThr genes, one pseudo tRNAThr, and three noncoding sequences (NC1, NC1′ and NC2) were situated between Cytb and tRNAPro genes. The new complete mitogenome sequence of T. shanorum will be useful for conservation genetics, evolutionary biology, phylogeography, as well as phylogenetic relationships studies of this threatened species.
The Myanmar warty newt (Tylototriton shanorum) belongs to family Salamandridae (order Caudata), that occurs Taunggyi, Shan State, Myanmar (Frost 2017). Due to overhunting for domestic pet trade and traditional medicine use and environmental destruction, most of the crocodile newt species of Tylototriton are legally protected (Jiang et al. 2016). T. shanorum is an endemic species of Myanmar and has been sold in pet shops in Japan (Nishikawa et al. 2014). Thus, it is urgent to create a reasonable and effective conservation strategy. Genetic background investigation including mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) are important for guiding wildlife conservation and management
