The lawn cutworm, Spodoptera depravata, is one of the most important pests that causes economic damage to grass crops. This study reports the complete mitochondrial genome of an S. depravata sample collected in China. The genome is a circular molecule 15,460 bp in length with an overall A + T content of 81.6%. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The gene content and organization of the mitogenome of S. depravata are identical to those of other Spodoptera species. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenomes showed a close evolutionary relationship between S. depravata and S. exempta. This study provides new molecular data for the identification and further phylogenetic analyses of Spodoptera species.
