The mitochondrial genome of Teratoscincus roborowskii (Squamata: Gekkonidae) (GenBank No. MT107158) was a circular molecule of 16,693 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region (control region). The overall base composition of the H-strand of T. roborowskii is 30.6% A, 25.6% T, 29.7% C, 14.1% G, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses showed that T. roborowskii (MT107158) was a sister clade to T. keyserlingii whereas Teratoscincus roborowskii (KP115216) was a close sister clade of T. keyserlingii and T. roborowskii (MT107158).
