In this study, the near complete mitogenome sequence (15,469 bp) of Oreolalax major was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 19 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes (GenBank accession number KU310894). The features of O. major have one more tRNA gene (tRNAMet) behind the original one before ND2 which is similar to Leptobrachium boringii. Phylogenetic analyses were based on the concatenated sequences of the 13 protein-encoding genes of O. major and other related species.
