description Recently, the species of the insect order Phasmatodea, have attracted the interest of more and more enthusiasts. Here, we obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of Ramulus irregulatiter dentatus (R. irregulatiter dentatus), which belongs to the subfamily of Phasmatidae, detected by Illumina next-generation sequencing. The entire mitochondrial genome is 16,060 bp in length and contains a standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a putative A + T-rich region. The base composition and codon usage were typical of Phasmatodea species. The mitochondrial gene organization (37 genes) was consistent with that of other Phasmatidae. A phylogenetic tree was built from the sequence information of the 13 protein-coding genes by Bayesian analyses. The newly sequenced R. irregulatiter dentatus was most closely related to the family Phasmatidae. The complete mitochondrial genome of R. irregulatiter dentatus also provides valuable molecular information for future studies on Phasmatidae insect taxonomy and a framework to unveil more of their cryptic and unknown diversity, so that it can be used to control forest pests and protect crops.
