We report the complete mitochondrial DNA genome of the soybean stem fly (SSF) Melanagromyza sojae from Brazil Santa Catarina state based on Illumina MiSeq sequence data. The estimated mitogenome is 15 475 base pairs (bp) (KT597923), with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 22 tRNAs, and an estimated 579 bp AT-rich control region. Similar to other insects, the SSF mitogenome is A-T bias with 40.9% A, 36.7% T, 13.6% C, and 8.8% G. Molecular characterization of SSF mitogenome will facilitate the development of effective molecular markers, and robust and rapid identification of suspected biosecurity incursions and field infestations of this insect pest.
