Yellow-faced parrot : ウィキペディア英語版 | Yellow-faced parrot :''The yellow-fronted parrot (Poicephalus flavifrons) from Africa is occasionally called "yellow-faced parrot".'' The yellow-faced parrot (''Alipiopsitta xanthops''), formerly also known as the yellow-faced amazon, is the only species of the genus ''Alipiopsitta''. It is a Neotropical parrot (tribe Arini), and was classified in the genus ''Amazona'' for many years. It is a predominantly green and yellow-plumaged bird with a yellow head. It is a semi-nomadic species found in the cerrado region of Brazil and adjacent Bolivia.〔 As the yellow-faced parrot has disappeared from parts of its former range due to habitat destruction and generally occurs in low densities, it was considered vulnerable by the IUCN, but it remains locally fairly common, occurs in several protected areas and can survive in fragmented habitats, leading to its downlisting to near-threatened.〔 ==Taxonomy== The German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix first described the species in 1824 as ''Psittacus xanthops''. Its species name is derived from the Ancient Greek ''xanthos'' "yellow", and ''ops'' "face". For many years, it was placed within the genus ''Amazona'', although Alípio de Miranda Ribeiro proposed the new genus ''Salvatoria'' in 1920 due to differences in the bill and plumage. A 1995 study showed its distinctness genetically,〔Duarte JMB and Caparroz R (1995) Cytotaxonomic analysis of Brazilian species of the genus Amazona (Psittacidae, Aves) and confirmation of the genus Alipiopsitta (Caparroz and Pacheco). Braz J Genet 18:623-628.〕 followed up by more data which showed it to be much more closely related to the short-tailed parrot (''Graydidascalus brachyurus'') and to the members of the genus ''Pionus''.〔Russello, M.A. & Amato, G (2004) A molecular phylogeny of Amazona: implications for Neotropical parrot biogeography, taxonomy, and conservation. Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. 30: 421-437.〕 Following this discovery, it was briefly placed in the genus ''Salvatoria'' again, until this name was found to be pre-occupied by a group of polychaete worms from the superfamily Nereidoidea, thus leading to the transferral of the yellow-faced parrot to the new genus ''Alipiopsitta''.〔Caparroz, R., & Pacheco, J.F. (2006). ''A homonymy in Psittacidae: new name for Salvatoria Miranda-Ribeiro.'' Rev. Brasileira de Ornitologia 14: 174–175.〕
