The complete mitochondrial genome of Haemaphysalis hystricis from China is firstly determined in this study. The complete mitogenome is 14,716 bp in length with 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA, and 2 noncoding regions. The total base composition was A: 38.37%, T: 38.86%, G: 9.84% and C: 12.94%. Additionally, the ML tree was constructed based on the concatenated sequences of COX1, CYTB, 12S and 16S genes, and indicated that H. hystricis was clustered with H. longicornis.
