Medium-sized neotropical parrots from genus are represented by at least eight species. However, their taxonomy should be revised because some external morphological characters together with genetic data recognize 19 taxa. At present, only two mitochondrial markers are available for most of these taxa and obtained phylogenies are not well resolved. Therefore, we sequenced mitogenome to gain more molecular data required for future studies of the taxonomical status and phylogenetic relationships between taxa. Performed phylogenetic analyses showed seven monophyletic clades including at least two sequences assigned to one species. However, not all subspecies sequences were monophyletic.
该属的中型新热带鹦鹉至少有八个物种。然而,它们的分类法应该修订,因为一些外部形态特征以及遗传数据识别出19个分类单元。目前,这些分类单元中的大多数只有两个线粒体标记可用,并且获得的系统发育树没有得到很好的解析。因此,我们对线粒体基因组进行了测序,以获得未来分类地位和分类单元之间系统发育关系研究所需的更多分子数据。进行的系统发育分析显示有七个单系分支,其中至少有两个序列属于一个物种。然而,并非所有亚种序列都是单系的。
