Given the unavailability of information related to evolutionary biology and molecular taxonomy aspects of this genus, we report here the first complete sequencing of the mitochondrial genome of Limatus durhamii Theobald, 1901. The NextSeq 500 platform was used for sample sequencing, and the mitochondrial sequence obtained was 14,875 bp long, comprising 37 functional subunits (13 PCGs, 22 tRNA and 02 rRNA). The phylogeny reconstructed by maximum likelihood based on the concatenation of all 13 PCGs corroborated the known taxonomic classification based most on aspects of the external morphology and few molecular studies. The data and information produced here may be useful in the future development of taxonomic and evolutionary studies for the genus, as well as the Culicidae family itself
