Arachis pintoi Krapov. & W.C.Greg. is an important leguminous forage grass species that have extremely wide ranges of distribution in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. It has high feeding value and horticultural value. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the complete chloroplast genome of A. pintoi. The chloroplast genome is 156,185 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeated (IR) regions of 25,820 bp that are separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 85,637 bp, and a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,908 bp. The complete chloroplast genome contains 112 unique genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 28 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and four ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). The overall GC content was 36.4%. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that A. pintoi formed a single branch among genus Arachis. The whole chloroplast genome of A. pintoi will be a useful resource for future studies on phylogeny and conservation in Arachis.
