Complete mitochondrial genome of golden conure ().

tribe with 19 genera is the most diversified tribe of neotropical parrots. Six of them are classified as macaws and nine as conures. The presence of bare facial area distinguishes macaws from conures and other members of this tribe. However, such morphological division seems to be disputable as the smallest macaw (monotypic genus) turned out to be more closely related to three monotypic conures genera (, , ) than to other macaws. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of to enrich the resource of molecular markers for examination of phylogenetic relationships between macaws and conures.
