Sumario:The Gymnobelideus leadbeateri (Leadbeater’s Possum) is listed as Critical Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. We assembled the complete mitochondrial genome for the G. leadbeateri and characterized it to provide informative data for forthcoming studies for understanding its evolution and conservation genetics. The G. leadbeateri mitogenome is 16,812 bp long and encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on complete mitogenome shows that G. leadbeateri is related to Petaurus breviceps (sugar glider) and Dactylopsila trivirgata (striped possum).
