In this study, we reported the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of <i>S. caerulescens</i>. The length of this mitogenome was 15,720 bp in total (GenBank accession No. MW551788), containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and a non-coding control region. Its nucleotide composition was A (39.7%), C (14.1%), G (9.4%), and T (36.9%). The phylogenetic relationships indicated that the species of <i>SMitochondrial DNA.
