Mitochondrial genome of (Aves, Passeriformes, Timaliidae).

are commonly found in the eastern Himalayas and south China. In our study, we reported the complete mitogenome and obtain basic genetic information of for the first time. The complete mitochondrial genomes of (16 885bp in length) had 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes (12 and 16) and 2 control regions. All of the 13 PCGs were initiated by ATG. All the genes in were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
