In the present study, the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Pallas's Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus proregulus) was determined for the first time. The mitochondrial genome of Pallas's Leaf Warbler is a circular molecule of 16,880 bp in size and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 control regions. The base composition is 32.7% for C, 14.3% for G, 30.0% for A and 23.0% for T. These data will be useful for studying the genetic diversity within the species of Pallas's Leaf Warbler and phylogenetic relationships among different Phylloscopidae species.
