Popis: In this study, we present the first representative complete Taphozous melanopogon mitochondrial genome from China. Its mitochondrial genome was assembled and annotated using MitoZ. The genome is a circular molecule of 16,566 bp in length, including 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and a control region. Although maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference phylogenetic trees indicate that the super family Emballonuridea forms a sister taxon with Noctilionidea instead of Vespertilionidea, mitochondrial genes provide only part of the phylogenetic information, and phylogenetic inferences utilizing nuclear genes are needed in future toward resolving phylogenetic relationship among Vespertilionidea, Noctilionidea, and Emballonuridea.
