Complete mitochondrial genomes of Scincella vandenburghi and S. huanrenensis (Squamata: Scincidae).

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genomes of the skink species Scincella vandenburghi and S. huanrenensis. The mitogenomes were determined to be 17103 bp for S. vandenburghi and 17212 bp for S. huanrenensis. The mitogenomes consist of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and two non-coding regions. We then used the mitogenome data to construct a phylogenetic tree for these two species and an additional 16 species within the suborder Lacertilia.
