The stick tea thrips, Dendrothrips minowai Priesner (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a major pest of tea plantation and poses a considerable economic threat to tea industry.The mitochondrial 9002nc genome of D.minowai have been sequenced and annotated completely.

The entire genome is 14,631 bp in length with an A + T content of 78.53% (GenBank accession No.MF582634).

The stick tea thrips mt genome encodes all 37 genes that are typically found in animal mt genomes, consists of 13 skeleton yard stakes protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes.The gene order is unique and different from that of the other thrips.The A + T-rich region is 149 bp long and contains two poly-T stretchs.

Phylogenetic analysis was performed using 13 protein-coding genes with six thrips showed that D.minowai and other five Thripidae species were clustered into a branch, which is formed a sister clade to H.aculeatus (family Phlaeothripidae).
