The complete mitochondrial genome of drywood termite, , is reported in this study. The circular mitogenome has a length of 15,970 bp and encodes 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The percentage of A and T (65.44%) within this mitogenome is much higher than that of G and C (34.56%). The phylogenetic tree revealed that mitogenomes of Kalotermitidae formed one clade. The tree also revealed that was closest to , and was a sister group to . is a only species in which mitogenome has been completed so far among the es termite. The data provide resource for ecological and evolution analysis within termites especially Kalotermitidae.
