Abstract
The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Barbatula quignardi (Teleostei, Nemacheilidae) was sequenced from a museum voucher caught in its type locality (Lez River). The sequence was 16,641 bp in length, consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes including 2 tRNA-Leu and 2 tRNA-Ser, 2 ribosomic RNA genes and the control region. Intergenic space and overlapping gene sequences were found. The basecomposition of the whole mtDNA was 28.7% A, 26.2% T, 27.2% C and 17.9% G.
