Abstract

The complete mitogenome of Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) is confirmed. This circular mitogenome (accession number MK618724) length is 15,674 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The overall G + C proportion is 31.48%. These data expand the termite mitogenome databases, provide data support for the next phylogenetic and evolutionary studies.

Keywords: Cryptotermes brevis; Mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic tree.
