In this paper, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of Acanthosaura lepidogaster (Squamata, Agamidae), which is a circular molecule of 16 899 bp in size and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The overall base composition is as follows: T (22.8%), C (30.5%), A (32.3%), and G (14.4%). We constructed a phylogeny that included for 10 species of Leiolepidinae lizards and one outgroup Leiocephalus personatus constructed in BEAST, based on 15 mitochondrial genes (12S, 16S, ND1, ND2, COI, COII, ATP8, ATP6, COIII, ND3, ND4L, ND4, ND5, ND6, and cytochrome b). The topology of the phylogenetic tree is broadly similar to that mentioned by Pyron et al.

We report the complete mitogenome of Hydrophis cyanocinctus, which is 17,750 bp in size and includes 13 protein-coding (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 control regions. PCGs, with 13 genes, is 11,427 bp in length. All PCGs use ATN as the typical start codon except COX1 with GTG; the TAG was found as the stop codon in ND1 and ND2, the AGA was found as the stop codon in COI and ND6, the TAA was found as the stop codon in ATP8, ATP6, ND4L, ND5 and Cytb; while other 3 PCGs stop with a single T. Phylogeny reconstructed using the Bayesian inference (BI) method with 13 PCGs indicates the presence of H. cyanocinctus at the root of Laticaudinae.

We report the complete mitogenome of Hydrophis curtus, which is 17,702 bp in size and includes 13 protein-coding (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two control regions. PCGs, with 13 genes, are 11,261 bp in length. All PCGs use as the start codon ATN except ND1 (CTA) and COX1 (GTG); ATP8, ATP6, ND4L, ND5, and Cytb use the typical stop codon TAA; but COX2 and ND4 with a single T-. Phylogeny recon-structed using the Bayesian inference (BI) method with 13 PCGs indicates that H. curtus at the root of Laticaudinae.
