Brown Lory
The brown lory (''Chalcopsitta duivenbodei''), also called Duyvenbode's lory, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae native to New Guinea. Taxonomy The brown lory is one of three species in the genus ''Chalcopsitta.'' Within the genus, it is basal to the two other species. The generic name comes from the Greek ''khalkos'', meaning bronze, and the Modern Latin ''psitta'', meaning parrot. The specific epithet commemorates the Dutch merchant Maarten Dirk van Renesse van Duivenbode. The species is monotypic. Populations from northeastern New Guinea are sometimes treated as a distinct subspecies, ''C. d. syringanuchalis'', on the basis of differences in plumage. Birds from the Sepik River area have also been proposed as a separate subspecies ''C. d. intermedia'', but are almost universally subsumed into the nominate or (where two subspecies are recognised) into ''syringanuchalis''.

Loriinae
Loriinae is a subfamily of psittacine birds, one of the five subfamilies that make up the family Psittaculidae. It consists of three tribes, the lories and lorikeets ( Loriini), the budgerigar ( Melopsittacini) and the fig parrots (Cyclopsittini), which are small birds, mostly of bright colors and inhabitants of Oceania and the islands of Southeast Asia. Taxonomy The subfamily Loriinae was introduced in 1836 (as Loriana and Lorianae) by the English naturalist Prideaux John Selby in his book ''The Natural History of Parrots''. Traditionally it was considered that the lories were the only members of the subfamily Loriinae, or were integrated into their own family, Loriidae, but currently they are classified as a tribe, Loriini, within a larger subfamily Loriinae. The genetic studies showed that the lories are closely related to the budgerigar and the fig parrots of the genera ''Cyclopsitta'' and ''Psittaculirostris'', that form the other two tribes that make up the subfamily, Mel ...
