The Guianan toucanet, or Guyana toucanet (''Selenidera piperivora'') is a species of bird in the Ramphastidae family. Pacheco & Whitney (2006) suggested the correct scientific name was ''Selenidera piperivora'', but, as shown by Walters (2007), this name is pre-occupied. A paper by Piacentini et al. (2010) presented arguments for the use of Selenidera piperivora (Linnaeus 1758) as the correct name for the species. It is found in north-western Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is tropical humid lowland forests. It is 25 cm (10 in) long weighs 110-165 grams (3.9-5.8 oz.)〔http://www.nashvillezoo.org/piciformes/ramphastidae.htm〕 The Guianan toucanet is sometimes kept in aviculture as a breeder bird or a pet. == References == * Pacheco, J.
