%X Abstract Platypus contaminatus attacked healthy hawthorn trees in China. The complete mitogenome of P. contaminatus was 15,712 bp in length. It contained 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and a 1038-bp long non-coding AT-rich region. This species showed rearrangements in mitochondrial genome. These changes included: (1) the reversal of the order of tRNATrp and tRNAGln genes; (2) tRNASer moved from its ancestral position (between cob and nad1) to the nad2¨CtRNAGln gene junction. Phylogenetic analysis using nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs showed that P. contaminatus was closely related to Euplatypus parallelus, which was similar to the previous research
