We characterized the complete mitogenome ofPipistrellus coromandra(Indian pipistrelle) for comparative analysis of mitogenomes and for resolving the phylogenetic relationship of four tribes in the subfamily Vespertilioninae. The mitogenome size ofP. coromandrawas 17,153 bp, with a control region and a typical set of 37 mitochondrial genes. The nucleotide composition of theP. coromandramitogenome showed an AT bias with a nucleotide composition of 33.5% A, 30.7% T, 13.3% G, and 22.5% C. The mitochondrial protein-coding genes inP. coromandrause the standard start codon (ATN), two stop codons (TAA and AGA), and two incomplete stop codons (TA- and T--). The intertribal relationship of four tribes was highly resolved from the phylogenetic analysis of mitogenome sequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
