In our research, the complete mitochondrial genome of Culicicapa ceylonensise was determined and described, which was the first complete mitogenome reported in the Culicicapa. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of C. ceylonensise was 16,851 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one control region (D-loop). The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA was 29.8% for A, 23.5% for T, 31.8% for C, and 14.9% for G, and the percentage of GC content was 46.7%. The complete mitochondrial genome information of C. ceylonensis will contribute to the phylogenetic studies of the Passeriformes.
