The Brachymystax tsinlingensis Li (Salmoniformes, Salmonidae) is a freshwater resident salmonid fish. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of B. tsinlingensis was determined. The mitochondrial genome is 16,832 bp in size, including 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA and one control region. The gene order of B. tsinlingensis was similar to those of most other vertebrates. The overall base composition of B. tsinlingensis is 28.3% A, 26.7% T, 16.3% G and 28.7% C, with a slight AT rich feature (55.0%). Phylogenetic analyses showed that B. tsinlingensis has a close genetic relationship to B. tumensis.
