| Summary: | Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) are minute wasps which can attack immature and adult stages of virtually all insect orders. Here, we sequenced and annotated the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Chalcidoidea sp. This mitogenome was 15,152 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 20 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and 2 ribosomal RNA unit genes (rRNAs). All 13 PCGs were initiated by the ATN (ATG, ATT, ATA, and ATC) codon. All PCGs terminate with the stop codons TAA or TAG except for nad4 which ended with the incomplete codon T−. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Chalcidoidea sp. got together with the species Encyrtus infelix and Eurytoma sp., and species in Chalcidoidea formed a sister group to other Cynipoidea and Proctotrupoidea species.
