The dance fly, Ocydromia sp. belongs to the subfamily Ocydromiinae of Empididae. The mitogenome (GenBank accession number: MK514083) of Ocydromia sp. was sequenced, the first representative of the mitogenome of the subfamily. The nearly complete mitogenome is 16,078 bp totally, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 transfer RNAs. All genes have similar locations and strands with that of other published species of Empididae. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T, which together made up 79.1％ of the entirety. Bayesian inference analysis strongly supported the monophyly of Empidoidea, Empididae, and Dolichopodidae. This result also suggested that Empidinae is the sister group to the clade of Ocydromiinae.
