Biology:Pyrilia

From HandWiki

Pyrilia is a genus of parrots in the family Psittacidae.

All are relatively short-tailed parrots that are restricted to forests in the Neotropics. Their head or face contrasts clearly with the mainly green body, and they have a brownish or olive patch on the chest.

Taxonomy

The genus Pyrilia was introduced in 1856 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte with Pyrilia typica Bonaparte, 1856, as the type species.[1] This scientific name is a junior synonym of Psittacula pyrilia Bonaparte, 1853, the saffron-headed parrot.[2] The name Pyrilia combines the Ancient Greek πυρ/pur, πυρος/puros meaning "fire" with Latin ilia meaning "flanks".[3]

The genus was split from the now-monotypic Pionopsitta, and then briefly moved to Gypopsitta.[4] But as Pyrilia was published a few months before Gypopsitta, the former has priority.[5]

The genus contains seven species:[6]
