| Summary: | We assembled and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of Periphyllus diacerivorus, which is the first complete mitogenome in subfamily Chaitophorinae. The circular mitogenome of P. diacerivorus is 16,148 bp long with an A + T content of 84.1%. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), a large control region, and a special repeat region. All PCGs initiate with ATN and terminate with TAA or TAG except for cox1 and nad4, which are terminated with an incomplete stop codon T--. All tRNAs display the typical clover-leaf secondary structure except for trnS (AGN). The repeat region between trnE and trnF is 970 bp long, including 2.18 repeat units. In the phylogenetic analysis tree, P. diacerivorus clusters with Mindarus keteleerifoliae.
