Salvatoria de Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920[3] |
The monotypic Alipiopsitta xanthops, the Yellow-faced Parrot, is the only species of the genus Alipiopsitta, which is part of the parrot family. This parrot is found in central Brazil, from Maranhão south to northern Paraguay and eastern Bolivia.[2][4] This semi-nomadic parrot is found at the cerrado in low numbers and is declining or has already disappeared in large areas of its former range.[1]
Taxonomy
Previously, it was placed within the genus Amazona under the name Yellow-faced Amazon. Recent research showed that this species is much closer related to the Short-tailed Parrot (Graydidascalus brachyurus) and to the members of the genus Pionus.[5][6][7][8] In 2006, the genus name Salvatoria was changed to Alipiopsitta as it was a junior homonym of a genus Salvatoria McIntosh, 1885, a genus of exogonin syllid polychaetes.[2]
