Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Pachycephus smyrnensis Stein, 1876 collected from Sivas, Turkey, is described. The circled genome is 20,393 bp in length and contains a typical set of 37 genes. The missing control regions, trnQ and trnI in previously reported P. smyrnensis (KX907846) were obtained in this precise assembly based on a considerable amount of raw data. A denser sampled phylogenetic analysis shows that the two P. smyrnensis constitute a branch sister to P. cruentatus (Eversmann, 1847). Pachycephus is a sister group of Phylloecus within Hartigiinae and remote from Characopygus, a genus within Cephinae. The monophyly of Pachycephini has been rejected.
