Water voles (Microtus richardsoni) are sensitive species distributed in the mountains of Canada (Alberta, British Columbia), and the United States of America (Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). We assembled the complete circular M. richardsoni mitogenome, which is 16,285 bp in length and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. We estimated the phylogenetic tree of M. richardsoni and 24 related arvicoline species with two outgroup species: Phodopus roborovskii and Cricetus cricetus.
