Abstract Protobothrops dabieshanensis is new species snake which is only distributed in Dabie Mountain of Anhui China at present. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of P. dabieshanensis (AHU 2013-EE-Hp01) had been determined. The circle genome with the 17,193 bp total length contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 control regions. Overall base composition of the complete mtDNA was 33.20% A, 25.13% T, 29.22% C and 12.45% G. All the genes in P. dabieshanensis were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
