The complete mitochondrial genome of Batocera calanus (Parry, 1844) was characterized using Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing, assembled with MitoZ and metaSPAdes, and annotated using the MITOS. The genome is 15,648 bp long, with a GC content of 24.06%, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs genes, and two rRNAs genes. Maximum Likelihood analysis, with Callosobruchus maculatus (Chrysomelidae) as the outgroup, indicated that B. calanus is closely related to B. lineolata , B. horsfieldii and B. numitor. These data provide additional molecular resources for species identification and phylogenetic studies within the genus Batocera.
