ResumoIn this study, we characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of Agapornis personatus. Its mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,722 bp, with all genes exhibiting typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. The overall base composition is 21.49% T, 34.6% C, 29.66% A, and 14.25% G. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitogenome was conducted using the neighbour-joining method based on 16 parrot species. Phylogenetic tree suggested that A. personatus was closest to the same genus specie Agapornis roseicollis. The results would be useful for further studies on molecular evolution and breeding works of A. personatus.
