The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Xenocypris fangi.

Xenocypris fangi Tchang (1930) is an endemic species in China, which is mainly distributed in the Jialing River and its tributaries. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced. Its length is 16,619 bp, containing 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). The mitochondrial genome has common characteristics with other teleosts in the genetic arrangement. The phylogenetic tree shows that X. fangi is closely related to Distoechodon tumirostris.
