In this study, we assemble and describe for the first time the complete mitochondrial genomes of\n                    <jats:italic>T. anguliceps<\/jats:italic>\n                    (16,720 bp) and\n                    <jats:italic>T. ngoclinhensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    (16,260 bp). Both genomes consist of 37 genes, which is consistent with most other vertebrates, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). The arrangements of these mitochondrial genes are the same in\n                    <jats:italic>T. anguliceps<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>T. ngoclinhensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , but some genes have slight differences in their lengths, start codons, and stop codons. Phylogenetic analysis using 13 PCGs from the mitogenomes as well as concatenated 16S and ND2 sequences confirm the taxonomic identities of the samples, with\n                    <jats:italic>T. anguliceps<\/jats:italic>\n                    belonging to the subgenus Tylototriton and\n                    <jats:italic>T. ngoclinhensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    to the subgenus Yaotriton. Furthermore, the phylogenetic analysis reveals that the previously assembled mitogenome (GenBank accession KR733683) thought to represent\n                    <jats:italic>T. wenxianensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    is likely belongs to\n                    <jats:italic>T. maolanensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , thus providing the first mitogenome for this species. This study\u2019s re-identification and the completion of two new mitogenomes provide a total of three new mitogenomes for future studies: those of\n                    <jats:italic>T. anguliceps<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>T. ngoclinhensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and the re-identified\n                    <jats:italic>T. maolanensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The new mitogenomes can contribute valuable data for future molecular and evolutionary studies, as well as a basis for conservation genomics of the genus\n
