The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Cyclemys fusca was obtained and characterized in this study. The circular molecule is 16,491 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one non-coding region (control region). Its gene arrangement type is identical to the type of most vertebrate. All protein-coding genes initiate with ATG as start codon, except for COI started with GTG. Interestingly, COI and ND6 end up with AGG. The complete mitogenome of C. fusca provides the basic data to research molecular systematics of Geoemydidea.
