In this study, we describe the complete mitochondrial genome of Diopatra cuprea (Bosc, 1802). The mitogenome was found to contain 14,990 base pairs (67.53% A + T content), with a total of 37 genes (13 protein coding, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs). This study also examined mitogenome phylogenetics relationships of closely related species and recovered that D. cuprea is closely related to eunicids. This work has added to the genetic resources for furthering evolutionary studies of Annelida.
