Article Abstract

is an endemic frog of northern Chile that is only known at its type locality, Chusmisa. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was assembled using high-throughput sequencing data, yielding a circular genome of 19 312 bp with a nucleotide composition of A = 30.8%, C = 24.4%, G = 13.6% and T = 31.2%. Its gene composition and structure were similar to other anuran genomes available: 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and the D-loop region. Phylogenetic analysis using Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) showed that , and are a highly supported monophyletic group. This genome information will allow us to gain a better understanding into phylogenetic and phylogeographic relationships in the genus .
