This study determined the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>B. barila</i> from Yunnan, China, for the first time. Circular molecule of <i>B. barila</i> mitogenome was sequenced to be 16,560 bp in length, with the typical gene structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and two noncoding areas (control region and the origin of L-strand replication). Overall nucleotides composition appeared to be 27.5% A, 24.8% T, 19.2% G, and 28.6% C, with a slight AT (52.3%) bias. The topology of the phylogenetic tree showed that <i>B. barila</i> was well grouped with <i>Opsarius caudiocellatus,</i> and clustered together with the genus <i>Opsarius</i> instead of <i>Barilius,</i> revealing that it was more reasonable for <i>Barilius barila</i> to belong to <i>Opsarius</i> rather than <i>Barilius</i>.Mitochondrial DNA.
