Mitogenomes of Isophya major and Poecilimon luschani from Barbitistini are presented for the first time. Mitogenomes of Phaneropteridae were analysed comparatively to describe subfamilial and tribal intra phylogeny of Phaneropteridae from the structure of mitogenome architect. The conserved and non-conserved features such as the total length, the order, location and lengths of individual protein coding genes and RNA genes, the start/stop codons of PCGs and the anticodons of tRNA genes, the presence/absence of intergenic spacers or overlapping regions are described. We arrived to following main conclusions: (i) Mitophylogeny suggests Phaneropteridae as a distinct family, but confirmation requires mitogenome data from Phyllophorinae and Pterochrozinae, (ii) Intra-familial relationship occur as Phaneropterinae + (Pseudophyllinae + Mecopodinae), (iii) the phylogenetically conserved features of the mitogenome in Phaneropteridae are less than the variable ones and they are mostly plesiomorphic, (iv) although mitochondrial gene rearrangements assumed to be homologies for higher level taxa, it could also be for terminal linages such as genera, and (v) IGSs are fast evolving regions in mitogenomes, but OR are not possibly because a mutation in OR may affect functions of two genes at the same time.
