Aulacorhynchus Prasinus -perching On Branch-8a
Green toucanets are near-passerine birds from the genus ''Aulacorhynchus'' in the toucan family. They are native to Mexico, and Central and South America. All are found in humid forests and woodlands in highlands, but a few also occur in adjacent lowlands.Short, L. L., & Horne, J. F. M. (2002). Toucans (Ramphastidae). pp. 220-272 in del Hoyo, J., Elliott, A., & Sargatal, J. eds. (2002). ''Handbook of the Birds of the World.'' Vol. 7 Jacamars to Woodpecker. Lynx Edicions, Barcelona. They are relatively small toucans, long, with colorful, mainly green, plumage. They are typically seen in pairs or small groups, and sometimes follow mixed species flocks.Restall, R. L., Rodner, C., & Lentino, M. (2006). ''Birds of Northern South America.'' Christopher Helm, London. (vol. 1). (vol. 2). Taxonomy and systematics A major taxonomy review in 1974 resulted in 6 species in the genus ''Aulacorhynchus'', and this was adopted by virtually all later authorities.Remsen, J. V., Jr., C. D.

Emerald Toucanet
The emerald toucanet (''Aulacorhynchus prasinus'') is a species of near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found from Mexico to Nicaragua. Taxonomy and systematics The emerald toucanet was originally described in the genus '' Pteroglossus''. For many years it was treated as having at least 14 subspecies. In 2008 the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) split 10 of those subspecies to create seven new species and retained four of them as subspecies of their current emerald toucanet ''sensu stricto''. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) concurred. Some of the seven have since been merged resulting in the current (2022) Wagler's toucanet (''A. wagleri''), blue-throated toucanet (''A. caeruleogularis''), white-throated toucanet (''A. albivitta''), and black-throated toucanet ('' atrogularis'') in addition to the emerald toucanet. However, the North and South American Classification Committees of the American Ornithologi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
South American Classification Committee
The American Ornithological Society (AOS) is an ornithological organization based in the United States. The society was formed in October 2016 by the merger of the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) and the Cooper Ornithological Society. Its members are primarily professional ornithologists, although membership is open to anyone with an interest in birds. The society publishes the two scholarly journals, ''The Auk'' and '' The Condor'' as well as the ''AOS Checklist of North American Birds''. In 2013, the American Ornithologists' Union announced a close partnership with the Cooper Ornithological Society, including joint meetings, a centralized publishing office, and a refocusing of their respective journals to increase efficiency of research. In October 2016, the AOU announced that it was ceasing to operate as an independent union and was merging with the Cooper Ornithological Society to create the American Ornithological Society.

Crimson-rumped Toucanet
The crimson-rumped toucanet (''Aulacorhynchus haematopygus'') is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Taxonomy and systematics The crimson-rumped toucanet was originally described in the genus '' Pteroglossus''. Two subspecies are recognized, the nominate ''A. h. haematopygus'' ( Gould, 1835) and ''A. h. sexnotatus'' Gould, 1868. Description The crimson-rumped toucanet is long. The nominate subspecies weighs and ''A. h. sexnotatus'' . Their bill is brownish red and black with a vertical white line at the base; the nominate has a larger proportion of black than ''A. h. sexnotatus''. Males and females have the same plumage but females have a shorter bill than males. Adults of both subspecies are mostly green with a gold gloss to the nape and upper back, a red rump, chestnut tips on the central two or three pairs of tail feathers, and bare orange-brown skin around the dark eye. The nominate has blue above ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

They were separated by major taxonomic systems beginning in 2011. The tepui toucanet has three subspecies: * ''A. w. duidae'' - Chapman, 1929 * The nominate ''A. w. whitelianus'' - Salvin & Godman, 1882 * ''A. w. osgoodi'' - Blake, 1941 Description The tepui toucanet is long and weighs .
