Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>We present a complete sequence of mitochondrial genome of echolocating megabat <italic>Rousettus leschenaulti </italic>(16, 704 nt, GenBank record KC702803) and provide its annotation. We also show that phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomes of eighteen bat species, including <italic>R. leschenaulti</italic>, supports division of Chiroptera into Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera.</p> </abstract>
