title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese hwamei (Garrulax canorus).
abstract: Chinese hwamei (Garrulax canorus) is native to Eastern Asia, which is a member of Leiothrichidae, Passeriformes. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of G. canorus was sequenced. The genome is 17 828 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 control regions. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the mitogenomic sequence of G. canorus was most closely related to the sequences from other species of Garrulax.
