The Ghost bat is a monotypic bat species that is endemic to northern Australia and named on the basis of the large size of its partially conjoined ears. It is the only carnivorous bat found in Australia and its conservation status is currently listed as Vulnerable. Here, we describe the complete mitochondrial genome of and compare it to other vertebrates. The circularized mitogenome was 16,661 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNAs and a control region (D-loop) of 1228 bp. Phylogenetic analysis of available entire mitogenomes reveals that is most closely related to the Indian false vampire bat in the family Megadermatidae (false vampire bats).
鬼蝠是一种单型蝙蝠物种，仅分布于澳大利亚北部，因其部分相连的耳朵较大而得名。它是澳大利亚发现的唯一肉食性蝙蝠，目前其保护状况被列为易危。在此，我们描述了其完整的线粒体基因组，并将其与其他脊椎动物进行比较。该环状线粒体基因组为16,661 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、两个rRNA基因、22个tRNA以及一个1228 bp的控制区（D环）。对现有完整线粒体基因组的系统发育分析表明，它与假吸血蝠科（假吸血蝠）中的印度假吸血蝠关系最为密切。
