Lipoptena grahami Bequaert, 1942 (Diptera, Hippoboscidae) was first described in China almost 80 years ago. Species of Lipoptena were obligate blooding-feeding insects and commonly reported as vectors of wild animals of Cervinae. The complete mitochondrial genome of L. grahami was assembled to 16,953 bp in length. The AT content of L. grahami mitogenome is 80.59%. In total, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) were annotated from L. grahami's mitogenome. The typical clover-leaf structure of tRNAs was also analyzed and confirmed except the tRNA-Ser (AGN). A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on L. grahami with some other fly species.
