The lizard , which belongs to the family Agamidae is endemic to China. Here, we determined the complete mitogenome of using an Illumina Hiseq X Ten sequencer. This mitogenome's structure is a typical circular molecule of 16,467 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The overall base composition of is 34.1% A, 23.64% T, 13.62% C, and 28.64% G with a slight AT bias of 57.74%. Most mitochondrial genes except and seven tRNAs were encoded on the heavy strand. Notably, the gene was encoded on the heavy strand instead of its typical light strand position, providing an example of gene inversion in vertebrate mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that had a close relationship with .
这种蜥蜴属于鬣蜥科，是中国特有的。在这里，我们使用Illumina Hiseq X Ten测序仪测定了其完整的线粒体基因组。这个线粒体基因组的结构是一个典型的环状分子，长度为16467 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和一个控制区组成。其总体碱基组成为34.1%A、23.64%T、13.62%C和28.64%G，具有57.74%的轻微AT偏好。除了 和7个tRNA外，大多数线粒体基因都在重链上编码。值得注意的是， 基因在重链上编码，而不是其典型的轻链位置，这为脊椎动物线粒体基因组中的基因倒位提供了一个例子。系统发育分析表明， 与 关系密切。
