Abstract
The Back-breasted Thrush (Turdus dissimilis Blyth 1847), a medium-sized Turdus bird in the Turdidae family, is widely distributed in montane areas from northeastern India and Myanmar to southern China. The mitochondrial DNA of T. dissimilis is packaged in a compact 16,761-basepair (bp) circular molecule with A + T content of 52.50%. It contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs, and 1 noncoding region. We reconstructed a phylogenetic tree based on the mitogenome sequences of 10 Turdidae species and one outgroup. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that T. dissimilis is a sister taxon to T. unicolor. The new mitogenome data would provide useful information for application in conservation.
