Eupsittula
''Eupsittula'' is a genus of South America, South and Middle America (Americas), Middle American parakeets in the Tribe (biology), tribe Arini (tribe), Arini. Until 2013, all the species were believed to belong to the genus ''Aratinga''. Some of the ''Eupsittula'' species are kept in aviculture or as companion parrots, where they are commonly known as conures. Taxonomy The genus ''Eupsittula'' was introduced in 1853 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte with the Eupsittula canicularis, orange-fronted parakeet as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''eu'' meaning "good" with the Neo-Latin, Modern Latin ''psittula'' meaning "little parrot". The genus contains five species.

Eupsittula Canicularis
''Eupsittula canicularis'', also known as the orange-fronted parakeet, orange-fronted conure, half-moon conurek or Petz's conure is a vulnerable species of birds in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found from western Mexico to Costa Rica. Taxonomy and systematics The orange-fronted parakeet was formally described in 1758 by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae''. He placed it with all the other parrots in the genus ''Psittacus'' and coined the binomial name ''Psittacus canicularis''. The type locality is northwestern Costa Rica. Linnaeus based his description on the "red and blue-headed parakeet" that had been described and illustrated in 1751 by the English naturalist George Edwards in the fourth part of his ''A Natural History of Common Birds''.

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 ...

It is endemic to eastern Brazil. Taxonomy and systematics The Caatinga parakeet has two subspecies, the nominate ''E. c. cactorum'' (Kuhl, 1820) and ''E. c. caixana'' (Spix, 1824).

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] |

He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
