In March 2019, the study on the mitochondrial genome of Agapornis fischeri was published by H. Liu [1]. Three weeks ago, three new papers, were published on line by Chen and reported the complete mitogenome of Agapornis personatus, Agapornis lilianae and Agapornis nigrigenis [2]–[4]. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that these three species are (as suspected) closely related to Agapornis roseicollis.
