The Chinese pangolin    Manis   pentadactyla    is critically endangered because of over-exploitation and illegal trafficking and includes three subspecies. However, the taxonomic status of the three subspecies of the Chinese pangolin has not been well resolved, which impedes regional conservation and illegal trade traces. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of    M.   p.   pentadactyla   , an endemic subspecies of the Chinese pangolin in Taiwan, was determined. The complete mitogenome of    M.   p.   pentadactyla    is 16,570 base pairs (bp) in length with 13 protein-coding genes (PCG), 23 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNAs and a 1164 bp control region. The overall base composition of the genome showed a slight A + T bias (59.9%), positive AT skew (0.1515) and negative GC skew (-0.3406), which is similar to that of other pangolins. All PCGs started with a typical ATN codon and all tRNAs were typical cloverleaf-shaped secondary structures, except for tRNA-Ser (GCU) . Phylogenetic analysis indicated a monophyletic relationship for    M.   p.   pentadactyla    and    M.   p.   aurita    and was monophyletic for    M.   p.   pentadactyla   , but paraphyletic for    M.   p.   aurita   . The paraphyly of    M.   p.   aurita    resulted from an incomplete lineage sorting. This study enriched the mitogenome database of the Chinese pangolin and the molecular information obtained should be very useful for future research on mitogenome evolution and genetic diversification in    M.   pentadactyla   .
