Crimsonwings are estrildid finches found in the understory of montane rainforests of sub-Saharan Africa. The genus includes four species: Sharpe 1902, Sharpe 1902, (Hartlaub 1874), and Reichenow 1892. The first two are endemic to the Albertine Rift, while the latter two are more widespread. Despite being well-represented in museum collections, genetic resources are scarce. Here we provide complete mitogenomes for all four species, each containing the standard 37 avian genes. Analyses showed as sister to the other three species, with and being highly similar (99.2%). Further research is needed to explore their evolutionary history.
绯红翅雀是梅花雀科的雀类,分布于撒哈拉以南非洲山地雨林的林下植被中。该属包括四个物种:(夏普,1902年)、(夏普,1902年)、(哈特劳布,1874年)和(赖歇瑙,1892年)。前两个物种是艾伯丁裂谷地区特有的,而后两个物种分布更广。尽管博物馆收藏中有丰富的标本,但遗传资源却很稀缺。在这里,我们提供了这四个物种的完整线粒体基因组,每个基因组都包含标准的37个鸟类基因。分析表明,[此处原文缺失物种名]是其他三个物种的姐妹种,[此处原文缺失物种名]和[此处原文缺失物种名]高度相似(99.2%)。需要进一步研究来探索它们的进化历史。
