The chestnut-winged cuckoo (Clamator coromandus) is a bird species known for its brood parasitism, laying eggs in the nests of other species. However, there paucity genetic information available this and their genus Clamator. In study, we present first complete mitochondrial genome sequence C. coromandus compare it with within Cuculidae family. mitogenome closed circular molecule consisting 17,082 bp an organization typical genomes Cuculidae. Alignment control regions across revealed substantial variation significant abundance AT content. A difference was detected AT-skews between brood-parasitic parental-care distinctive long poly-C located at 5′ end domain I. Phylogenetically, more closely related to Piaya cayana than Ceuthmochares aereus. phylogenetic analysis indicated general divergence parasitism those parental care, transitions these behaviors branches, suggesting multiple evolutionary occurrences traits. serves as valuable resource further investigation into taxonomic status history Clamator
