In this study, we undertook the first complete Ochotona erythrotis mitochondrial genome. The genome sequence was 16,663 bp in length, including the typical structure of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and the non-coding control region. The overall base composition of O. erythrotis mitogenome is 31.8% A, 26.0% T, 28.6% G, and 13.6% C, with a high A + T content of 57.8%.
