is a Critically Endangered frog native to the central highlands of Madagascar. Due to ongoing habitat loss of its known range, this species' population is considered declining, while little is known about its ecology, behavior, and taxonomy. Within the context of developing tools that can aid the conservation of Madagascar's amphibian fauna, and add to the continued understanding of their taxonomy, we assembled its complete mitochondrial genome (Genbank Accession number MZ751042). This contributes the first complete mitochondrial genome of a microhylid from Madagascar, despite there being over 100 species in the Cophylinae subfamily alone. 's circular mitochondrial genome is 17,519 bp long, contains 37 genes, and exhibits differences in gene arrangement compared with other microhylids, including the placement of protein coding genes nad1 and nad2. A phylogeny of the 13 protein coding genes of the few Madagascan anuran mitogenomes available, along with species from Africa and East Asia, places along with the New Guinean in a basal position with respect to the other microhylids in the tree.
是一种极度濒危的青蛙，原产于马达加斯加的中部高地。由于其已知分布范围的栖息地持续丧失，该物种的种群数量被认为正在下降，而对其生态、行为和分类学知之甚少。在开发有助于保护马达加斯加两栖动物群并增进对其分类学持续了解的工具的背景下，我们组装了其完整的线粒体基因组（Genbank登录号MZ751042）。这是来自马达加斯加的一种姬蛙科动物的首个完整线粒体基因组，尽管仅姬蛙亚科就有100多种。的环状线粒体基因组长度为17,519 bp，包含37个基因，与其他姬蛙科动物相比，基因排列存在差异，包括蛋白质编码基因nad1和nad2的位置。对少数可用的马达加斯加无尾目动物线粒体基因组的13个蛋白质编码基因以及来自非洲和东亚的物种进行的系统发育分析表明，与新几内亚的物种一起，在树中相对于其他姬蛙科动物处于基部位置。
