Myiopsitta
''Myiopsitta'' is a genus of parrot in the family Psittacidae. They are native to South America, but are found all over Europe, as well. They are known as an invasive species due to the crop damage they cause, which greatly affects the wildlife all across Europe. The monk parakeet is sometimes considered monotypic within the genus. The genus was introduced by French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. The type species was subsequent designated as the monk parakeet (''Myiopsitta monachus'') by English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''mus, muos'' meaning "mouse" and the Neo-Latin Neo-LatinSidwell, Keith ''Classical Latin-Medieval Latin-Neo Latin'' in ; others, throughout.

Monk Parakeet
The monk parakeet (''Myiopsitta monachus''), also known as the monk parrot or Quaker parrot, is a species of true parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is a small, bright-green parrot with a greyish breast and greenish-yellow abdomen. Its average lifespan is approximately 15 years. It originates from the temperate to subtropical areas of South America. Self-sustaining feral populations occur in many places, mainly in areas of similar climate in North America and Europe. Taxonomy The monk parakeet was described by French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, in 1780 in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux''. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the ''Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle'', which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text. Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name, but in 1783, Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddae ...

Cliff Parakeet
The cliff parakeet (''Myiopsitta luchsi'') is a Near Threatened species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is endemic to Bolivia. Taxonomy and systematics The cliff parakeet was long treated as a subspecies of the monk parakeet (''Myiopsitta monachus''). Due to morphological and behavioral differences, and geographical dissimilarities, the International Ornithological Committee elevated the cliff parakeet to species status in 2015. BirdLife International's ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' followed suit in 2020 and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society in late 2024.Remsen, J.
