In this study, we sequenced complete mitogenome of Taeniothrips tigris Bhatti 1995. It was 15,501 bp in length containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes along with two non-coding regions. The overall base composition of Ta. tigris is 43.66% A, 35.20% T, 11.46% C, and 9.68% G, with a high AT bias of 78.86%. The constructed phylogeny using 19 mitogenomes revealed that the genus Taeniothrips is in close relationship with genus Thrips . This mitogenome data would help in deducing phylogenetic relationships studies in the order Thysanoptera.
