Abstract
The complete mitochondrial of Babax lanceolatus is 17 849 bp in length. The contents of A, C, T, and G in the mitochondrial genome were 29.53%, 32.62%, 23.72%, and 14.13%, respectively. The mitogenome of B. lanceolatus were composed of 13 typical protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and two putative control regions. All protein-coding, rRNA, and tRNA genes were similar to those of other Passeriformes in gene arrangement and composition. Garrulax perspicillatus was the nearest sister to B. lanceolatus, and they were clustered with other species of Garrulax family. The results could provide essential information for molecular phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of Passeriformes.
