Aulacorhynchus
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).

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.

Toucan
Toucans (, ) are members of the Neotropical near passerine bird family Ramphastidae. The Ramphastidae are most closely related to the American barbets. They are brightly marked and have large, often colorful bills. The family includes five genera and over forty different species. Toucans are arboreal and typically lay 2–4 white eggs in their nests. They make their nests in tree hollows and holes excavated by other animals such as woodpeckers—the toucan bill has very limited use as an excavation tool. When the eggs hatch, the young emerge completely naked, without any down. Toucans are resident breeders and do not migrate. Toucans are usually found in pairs or small flocks. They sometimes fence with their bills and wrestle, which scientists hypothesize they do to establish dominance hierarchies. In Africa and Asia, hornbills occupy the toucans' ecological niche, an example of convergent evolution. Taxonomy and systematics The name of this bird group is derived from the ...

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.

Blue-throated Toucanet
The blue-throated toucanet (''Aulacorhynchus caeruleogularis'') is a near-passerine bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It is found in Costa Rica, Panama and far northwestern Colombia. Taxonomy and systematics What is now the blue-throated toucanet was two of many subspecies of the then emerald toucanet (''Aulacorhynchus prasinus'' ''sensu lato''). In 2008 the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) split 10 of those subspecies to create seven new species, one of which is the blue-throated toucanet, and retained four of them as subspecies of their current emerald toucanet ''sensu stricto''.
