Abstract

Anthus hodgsoni is a species of small passerine bird in the family Motacillidae, which is widely distributed. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of A. hodgsoni. The result showed that the total length of the mitochondrial genome was 16,886 bp and contained 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 control region. The phylogenetic tree was reconstructed using the Bayesian analysis method and divided into four genera, Anthus, Dendronanthus, Motacilla and Tmetothylacus. The A. hodgsoni which we determined was clustered into genus Anthus and received strong support.
