The Indian scops owl Otus bakkamoena (Aves, Strigiformes, Strigidae) is a small resident owl in southern Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence consisted of 17,389 base pairs (bp) encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and non-coding regions. The overall base composition of O. bakkamoena was G + C: 44.6%, A + T: 55.4%, apparently with a slight AT bias. Phylogenetic analysis showed that O. bakkamoena was closely related to Otus scops.
