The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of was sequenced and characterized. The circular mt genome was constituted of of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs) and a non-coding region (NCR). Phylogenetic analysis based on the full mt genome sequences confirmed that among the genus Lithobates, is included in a monophyletic group with but not with either or . This is the first completed mt genome from , which provide data for further study of phylogeny in that have been introduced into a number of different countries originally from North America.
