In this study, we report the basic characteristics of the Rhipicephalus simus mitochondrial genome, including structural organization and base composition of the rRNAs, tRNAs and protein-coding genes. The total length of the mitogenome was 14,929 bp, included 37 genes and with a genome structure similar to other ticks.
