The cyanobacteriosponge Terpios hoshinota occurs on tropical reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific. The species encrusts live coral, and other benthos, and is considered a pest species that can threaten thehealth and productivity of locally native benthic communities on coral reefs. Here we assemble a com-plete mitochondrial genome to aid further research into the range expansion of this species. The circu-lar genome was 20,504bp in length and encoded 14 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA)genes, and 25 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. A phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated sequen-ces of 14 protein-coding genes of 12 members of the subclass Heteroscleromorpha including thenewly sequenced T. hoshinota, suggests further taxonomic revisions within the order Suberitida may be warranted
