The complete mitogenome of the splendid japalure Japalura splendida (Squamata, Agamidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitogenome of Japalura splendida (16,673 bp in length) is determined and analyzed in this study. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one non-coding regions. All the genes in J. splendida are distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 gene and seven tRNA genes which are encoded on the L-strand. The phylogenetic tree suggests that J. splendida and Japalura flaviceps formed a sister group and reveals the order ((((Acanthosaura lepidogaster, Acanthosaura armata), ((J. splendida, J. flaviceps), Pseudocalotes microlepis))), Calotes versicolor) with substantial support for the monophyly.
