We sequenced and annotated the nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Lemnia saucia (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). This mitogenome was 14,106 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 transfer RNAgenes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The overall nucleotide composition was 41.6% of A, 8.8% of G, 37.3% of T, and 12.4% of C. Phylogenetic reconstruction using both Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) validated the taxonomic status of L. saucia, exhibiting the close relationship with Propylea japonica.
