Summary:Chinese black ant, Polyrhachis dives Smith, also known as P. vicina Roger has been used as a traditional edible insect and Chinese medicine in China and some southeast countries for thousands of years. In this study, Mitogenome of this species was assembled with high coverage using Illumina sequencing data and is 15,806 bp long in size. The base composition is 37.8% for A, 12.5% for C, 6.4% for G and 43.3% for T. The mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogeny showed that it was closely related to Camponotus atrox (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) with high bootstrap value supported. The mitogenome of P. dives can provide essential DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis.
