Merr.). To our knowledge, this is the first scientific record of M. sojae in Uruguay, and we confirm its identity through using DNA barcoding. Characteristic damage to host plants and immature stages of M. sojae were confirmed in Dolores and Colonia, Uruguay. © The authors.  aGlycine max  aMtDNA COI  aSoybean pests  aSoybean stem minor  aStem borer flies1 aSTEWART, S.1 aOLIVIERI, V.1 aGIAMBIASI, M.  tCheck List. 2024, 20(1): 138-143. https://doi.org/10.15560/20.1.138  -- OPEN ACCESS.
