Aoria nigripes
(Baly, 1860) is one of the main pests of grapes, mainly damaging leaves, petioles and shoots and seriously affecting plant growth and development. Recently, this pest was found to damage the leaves of
Ampelopsis grossedentata
,
Ampelopsis megalophylla
,
Ampelopsis chaffanjonii
and
Ampelopsis cantoniensis.
However, the phylogenetic relationships of
A. nigripes
and other related family members are unclear. In this study, we sequenced and analysed the complete mitogenome of
A. nigripes
for the first time. The mitogenome of
A. nigripes
is circular and 17,306 bp in size, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The base composition of the
A. nigripes
mitogenome is 41.70% A, 33.76% T, 9.01% G and 15.53% C. The phylogenetic analysis showed that
A. nigripes
was clustered together with
Basilepta fulvipes
and
Colasposoma dauricum
.
