The complete mitochondrial genome of the Great evening bat Ia io (Chiroptera: Vespertiilionidae) from karst area, Southwestern China

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Ia io from Guizhou Province, China. The genome was a circular mitochondrial genome of 16689 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and a control region. The average base composition is 32.76% A, 24.59% C, 14.49% G, and 28.16% T. The first complete mitochondrial genome of I. io provides fundamental data for future systematic taxonomic studies of the genus Ia.
