Complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) have long been proved as reliable markers for phylogenetic reconstruction among diverse animal groups, especially benefited from recent rapid development of sequencing techniques. However, the mitogenomes of many important clades remain poorly represented, which restricted the understanding of macroscale evolutionary history of these groups. Here, we sequenced and characterized the complete mitogenome of Trachylophus sinensis, a type species of the Trachylophus genus, which also represents the first sequenced mitogenome in this genus. The complete circular mitogenome was 15,746 bp in length, containing 37 typical genes and one noncoding AT-rich control region. The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome was highly A + T biased, accounting for 70.07 % of the whole mitogenome with a slightly positive AT skewness (0.106). The 13 Protein coding genes (PCGs) used ATN as their start codons, except nad1 which used TTG. All tRNA genes were predicted with a characteristic cloverleaf secondary structure except trnS1⁽ᴬᴳᴺ⁾, whose dihydrouridine (DHU) arm was replaced by a simple loop. Phylogenetic analyses recovered Cerambycinae as a monophyletic group with high node supports and the sister relationship between T. sinensis and Nadezhdiella cantori. However, we found that deeper nodes showed not strong support, which may be caused by limited taxa sampling in our study. More mitogenomes should be sequenced representing various taxonomic levels, especially closely related species, which will enhance our understanding of phylogenetic relationships among Cerambycinae.
