Touit
''Touit'' is a genus of Neotropical parrots in the family Psittacidae. The genus was introduced by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855 with the scarlet-shouldered parrotlet (''Touit huetii'') as the type species. The genus name is derived from the extinct Tupi language that was spoken by native people in Brazil: ''Tuí eté'' means "really little parrot". In 1648 the German naturalist Georg Marcgrave used ''Tuiete'' for a small parrot in his ''Historia Naturalis Brasiliae ''Historia Naturalis Brasiliae'' (), originally written in Latin, is the first scientific work on the natural history of Brazil, written by Dutch people, Dutch naturalist Willem Piso and containing research done by the German scientist Georg Ma ...''.

Sapphire-rumped Parrotlet
The sapphire-rumped parrotlet (''Touit purpuratus'') is a species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Taxonomy and systematics The sapphire-rumped parrotlet was described in 1781 by the English ornithologist John Latham under the English name "purple-tailed parakeet". Latham's specimen had come from Cayenne in French Guiana. When in 1788 the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin revised and expanded Carl Linnaeus's ''Systema Naturae'', he included the sapphire-rumped parrotlet with a short description, coined the binomial name ''Psittacus purpuratus'', and cited Latham's work. The sapphire-rumped parrotlet is now placed with seven other parrotlets in the genus ''Touit'' that was introduced in 1855 by the English zoologist George Robert Gray. The genus name is derived from the extinct Tupi language that was spoken by native pe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spot-winged Parrotlet
The spot-winged parrotlet (''Touit stictopterus'') is a Near Threatened species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The spot-winged parrotlet is monotypic. A subspecies ''T. s. papilo'' was proposed but it cannot be separated from the rest of the species. A full species ''T. emmae'' was at one time proposed but the description was determined to be based on a female spot-winged parrotlet.Collar, N., P. F. D. Boesman, and A. Bonan (2020).
