The Asiatic Short-tailed Shrew, Blarinella quadraticauda, is an endemic shrew to China, and is only distributed in Sichuan. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of B. quadraticauda was determined. The mitogenome is 17,014 base pairs in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 control region, with a base composition of 33.3 % A, 31.8% T, 22.3% C and 12.6% G. This study contributes to illuminating taxonomic status of the Asiatic Short-tailed Shrew, B. quadraticauda.
川西长尾鼩（Blarinella quadraticauda）是中国特有的一种鼩鼱，仅分布于四川。在本研究中，测定了川西长尾鼩的完整线粒体基因组序列。该线粒体基因组长度为17,014个碱基对，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和1个控制区，碱基组成为33.3%A、31.8%T、22.3%C和12.6%G。本研究有助于阐明川西长尾鼩的分类地位。
