Cyclopelta obscura is a crop pest, which mainly damages legumes, especially Robinia pseudoacacia and Cercis chinensis. In recent years, many mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences of C. obscura have been sequenced and used for phylogenetic inference. However, the complete mitogenome has not been reported yet and studies on the phylogenetic relationships within Dinidoridae are rare. In this study, we sequenced the mitogenome of C. obscura and conducted comparative mitogenomic analyses of seven Dinidoridae species based on several different factors. The length of the mitogenome is 15,426 bp, which includes 37 typical mitochondrial genes (13 protein‐coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs) and a control region (796 bp long), as well as 13 intergenic spacers and 8 overlapping regions. Most PCGs of C. obscura began with the classical start codon ATN, while cox1 and nad4l used TTG, and nad1 used GTG. The Dinidoridae mitogenomes are highly conserved in terms of nucleotide composition, the codon usage of PCGs, and the secondary structure of tRNA. Phylogenetic analysis based on four datasets with two methods recovered the Dinidoridae as a monophyletic group with strong support values. All results indicate that Dinidoridae formed a sister group to Tessaratomidae, and (Tessaratomidae + Dinidoridae) formed a sister group to Cydnidae in most of the phylogenetic trees. Additionally, seven species within the Dinidoridae, we observed the following relationship: (Eumenotes sp. + (Cyclopelta parva + C. obscura)) + ((Megymenum gracilicorne + Megymenum brevicorne) + (Coridius chinensis + Coridius brunneu)).
