Abstract
Horornis fortipes has been listed on the IUCN red list of endangered species - Least Concern (LC). In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of H. fortipes by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. The complete mitochondrial genome of H. fortipes is a circular molecule of 16,908 bp in total length, and it contains 13 typical vertebrate protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes (12srRNA, 16srRNA), and 2 control regions. This is the fist complete mitochondrial genome reported in Cettiidae. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Cettiidae diverged earlier than other family except Pycnonotidae, Acrocephalidae, and Pnoepygidae among 15 families within Passeriformes.
