''Psittacara'' is a genus of South and Middle American parakeets in the tribe Arini. Until 2013, all the species were believed to belong to the genus ''Aratinga''.〔Remsen, Jr., J.V.; Schirtzinger, E.E.; Ferraroni, Anna; Silveira, Luís Fábio; & Wright, Timothy F. (24 April 2013). ''DNA-sequence data require revision of the parrot genus Aratinga (Aves: Psittacidae)''. Zootaxa 3641(3): 296–300. doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.3641.3.9〕 Many of the ''Psittacara'' species are kept in aviculture or as companion parrots, where they are commonly known as conures. ==Species== *''Psittacara chloropterus'' (Souancé, 1856) – Hispaniolan parakeet *''Psittacara erythrogenys'' (Lesson, 1844) – red-masked parakeet *''Psittacara euops'' (Wagler, 1832) – Cuban parakeet *''Psittacara finschi'' (Salvin, 1871) – crimson-fronted parakeet *''Psittacara holochlorus'' (Sclater, 1859) – green parakeet *''Psittacara brevipes'' (Lawrence, 1871) - Socorro parakeet *''Psittacara rubritorquis'' (Sclater, 1887) – red-throated parakeet *''Psittacara leucophthalmus'' (Statius Muller, 1776) – white-eyed parakeet *''Psittacara mitratus'' (von Tschudi, 1844) – mitred parakeet *''Psittacara strenuus'' (Ridgway, 1915) – Pacific parakeet *''Psittacara wagleri'' (G.R. Gray, 1845) – scarlet-fronted parakeet Jean-Baptiste Labat described a population of small parrots living on Guadeloupe, which have been postulated to be a separate species based on little evidence. They were called ''Conurus labati'', and are now referred to as the Guadeloupe parakeet (''Psittacara labati''). There are no specimens or remains of the extinct parrots. Their taxonomy may never be fully elucidated, and so their postulated status as a separate species is hypothetical, and it is regarded as a hypothetical extinct species. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Psittacara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
