The complete mitochondrial genome of the Hipposideros pendleburyi (Pendlebury's leaf-nosed bat) an endemic species in Thailand.

ABSTRACT

This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genome of the Hipposideros pendleburyi (Pendlebury's leaf-nosed bat), an endemic species in Thailand. The mitochondrial genome was 16,820 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The overall base composition was 31.5% A, 26.2% T, 28.3% C, and 14.0% G. A maximum-likelihood tree revealed that H. pendleburyi was grouped with Hipposideros armiger within the Hipposideridae clade, which has Rhinolophidae as a sister clade.
