Complete mitochondrial genome of the greater Antillean parrot (Hispaniolan amazon).

is one of the four tribes recognized within the group of neotropical parrots. The tribe includes 10 genera of which genus is presently represented by about 30 species. The number of species may increase in the future because paraphyly of some species was recently demonstrated and some subspecies were proposed to be elevated to the species rank. Evolutionary history of genus also remains unresolved because published phylogenies suggest contradictory scenarios concerning directions of islands-mainland colonization. Therefore, we sequenced mitogenome of from Greater Antilles to gain molecular data essential in future examination of this genus diversification.
