In this study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the New Zealand parasitic blowfly Calliphora vicina (blue bottle blowfly) field strain NZ_CalVic_NP was generated using next-generation sequencing technology and annotated. The 16,518 bp mt genome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a 1689 bp non-coding region, similar to the two other available C. vicina and most metazoan mt genomes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. vicina NZ_CalVic_NP forms a monophyletic cluster with the remaining three Calliphorinae species. The complete mt genome sequence of C. vicina NZ_CalVic_NP is a resource to facilitate future species- and strain-level identification research and investigations into the evolutionary provenance within the Calliphoridae.
