Abstract
Lepus capensis pamirensis is a specific cape hare species that is only distributed in the Pamirs, with a cruel natural environment. The complete mitochondrial genome of the cape hare L. c. pamirensis was first determined (accession number LC073697), in a total length of 17 597 nucleotides, of which 15 310 nucleotides are coding DNA and 2287 nucleotides are non-coding DNA. It has the common feature with those of other hares with respect to genome structure and gene arrangement. It contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer tRNA genes and 1 control region (D-loop region). The complete mitochondrial genome of the cape hare L. c. pamirensis provides an important data set for further study on its classification.
