In this study, we obtained and described the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of . The total length is 17,259 base pairs. Similar to most Colubridae mitochondrial genomes, there are 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA). In addition, it contains two control regions (D-loop) rich in A-T base. The total base composition of mitochondrial DNA is 34.3% for A, 26.5% for C, 12.8% for G, and 26.4% for T, and the percentage of GC content is 39.3%. These data further reveal the phylogenetic relationship between and other species in the Colubridae family.
