Complete mitochondrial genome of chestnut-fronted macaw (, Psittaciformes).

Six genera from tribe form a morphologically diverse group named macaws, which differ from other in the presence of bare facial area. Macaws are further distinguished by the bare face pattern, plumage colouration and body size. Six of the eight macaw species from genus can be easily segregated into three pairs according to their colouration. An exception is , which differs from others in their size and morphology. The lack of appropriate molecular markers precludes determination of its phylogenetic position. Therefore, the mitogenome of presented in this report will be indispensable to refine these phylogenetic relationships.
