Psittacara
''Psittacara'' is a genus of parakeets in the Tribe (biology), tribe Arini (tribe), Arini. Species of the genus are found in Central and South America, the Caribbean and one species reaching the southern United States. Until 2013, all the species were placed in the genus ''Aratinga''. Many of the ''Psittacara'' species are kept in aviculture or as companion parrots, where they are commonly known as conures. Taxonomy The members of this genus were formerly placed in the genus ''Aratinga''. Molecular phylogenetic studies had found that ''Aratinga'' was non-monophyletic so in order to create monophylectic genera James Van Remsen Jr. and collaborators proposed in 2013 that ''Aratinga'' should be split and a group of species moved to the resurrected genus ''Psittacara''. The genus had been introduced in 1825 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors with the white-eyed parakeet as the type species. Species The genus contains 12 species including one which is now extinct: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arini (tribe)
The Arini tribe (biology), tribe of the neotropical parrots is a monophyletic clade of macaws and parakeets (commonly called conures in aviculture) characterized by colorful plumage and long, tapering tails. They occur throughout Mexico, Central America, and South America, the Caribbean Islands, Caribbean and the southern United States. One genus and several species are Extinction, extinct; another genus is extinct in the wild. Two species are known only through subfossil remains. About a dozen hypothetical extinct species (see Lesser Antillean macaw#Extinct Caribbean macaws, Extinct Caribbean macaws) have been described, native to the Caribbean area. Among the Arini are some of the rarest birds in the world, such as Spix's macaw, which is extinct in the wild – fewer than 100 specimens survive in captivity. It also contains the largest flighted parrot in the world, the hyacinth macaw. Some species, such as the blue-and-yellow macaw and sun conure are popular pet parrots. Mo ...

Psittacara Holochlorus
The green parakeet (''Psittacara holochlorus''), green conure, or Mexican green conure is a New World parrot. As defined by the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), it is native to Mexico and southern Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. Taxonomy and systematics The green parakeet was formally described in 1859 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater under the binomial name ''Conurus holochlorus'' based on a specimen that had been collected near the town of Xalapa in the state Veracruz of southern Mexico. The specific epithet ''holochlorus'' is from Classical Greek ὁλοχλωρος/''holokhlōros'' meaning "all-green" or "all-yellow". The green parakeet was formerly placed in the genus '' Aratinga'', but is now one of 12 species placed in the resurrected genus ''Psittacara'' that was introduced in 1825 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors. Three subspecies are recognised: * ''P. h. brewsteri'' (Nelson, 1928) – northwest Mexico * ''P. h. holochlorus'' ( Sclate ...

Conure
Conures are a diverse, loosely defined group of small to medium-sized parrots. They belong to several genus, genera within a long-tailed group of the New World parrot subfamily Arinae. Most conures belong to the tribe Arini (tribe), Arini, though ''Myiopsitta'' is an exception. The term "conure" is used primarily in aviculture, bird keeping, though it has appeared in some scientific journals. The American Ornithologists' Union uses the generic term ''parakeet'' for all species elsewhere called ''conure'', though Joseph Forshaw, a prominent Australian ornithologist, uses ''conure''. Description Conures are either large parakeets or small parrots found in the Western Hemisphere. They are analogous in size and way of life to Afro-Eurasia's rose-ringed parakeets or the Neophema, Australian parakeets. All living conure species live in Central America, Central and South America. The extinct ''Conuropsis carolinensis'', or Carolina parakeet was an exception. Conures are often cal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aratinga
''Aratinga'' is a genus of South American conures. Most are predominantly green, although a few are predominantly yellow or orange. They are social and commonly seen in groups in the wild. In Brazil, the popular name of several species usually is ''jandaia'', sometimes written as ''jandaya'' in the scientific form. Many species from this genus are popular pets, although being larger than the members of the genus '' Pyrrhura'', they need a sizable aviary to thrive. Taxonomy The genus ''Aratinga'' was introduced in 1824 by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix. The type species was subsequently designated as the sun parakeet. The genus name is from the extinct Tupi language of Brasil. ''Ará tinga'' means "bright bird" or "bright parrot". The taxonomy of this genus has recently been resolved by splitting it in four genera, as the genus as previously defined was paraphyletic. The species of the '' Aratinga solstitialis'' complex were retained in this genus, while other fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
