Polyopes lancifolius is a species of Halymeniales, the fifth species-rich order within Rhodophyta. Using next-generation sequencing techniques, we recovered the complete mitochondrial genome of P. lancifolius, i.e. total 26,142 bp in length with 31% GC contents. A total of 49 functional genes were annotated, including 24 protein-coding, 23 transfer RNA, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The gene content and synteny have been highly congruent to those of the other halymenialean species, such as Grateloupia taiwanensis, G. filicina, and Grateloupia angusta. Interestingly, the cox1 intron and intronic Open Reading Frame (ORF) are absent in P. lancifolius, that are existed in the other three halymenialean species.
