arinae latin

Touit is a genus of Neotropical parrots in the Psittacidae family.

It gives its name to and is part of the Arini, or tribe of Neotropical parrots.

The taxonomy of the Neotropical parrots is not yet fully resolved, but the following subdivision is supported by solid studies.

The Arini tribe of the Neotropical parrots consists of long-tailed species.

The Neotropical parrots belong to the subfamily Arinae part of the family of the true parrots Psittacidae.

The family Psittacidae consists of two subfamilies, the African parrots (Psittacinae) and the Neotropical parrots (Arinae).

Like the other Neotropical parrots, the Monk Parakeet is usually placed in the tribe Arini, which might warrant elevation to subfamily rank as Arinae.

The Glaucous Macaw (Anodorhynchus glaucus) is a large all blue South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots known as macaws.

The Red-shouldered Macaw (Diopsittaca nobilis) is a small green South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots called Macaws.

Tribe Arini together the Amazonian parrots and a few miscellaneous genera make up subfamily Arinae of Neotropical parrots in family Psittacidae of true parrots.

The subfamily Arinae encompasses all the Neotropical parrots, including the Amazons, macaws and conures, and ranges from northern Mexico and the Bahamas to Tierra del Fuego in the southern tip of South America.

The macaws and conures comprise the phylogenetic clade of long-tailed parrots which with sister clade short-tailed or Amazonian parrots make up subfamily Arinae of Neotropical parrots in family Psittacidae of true parrots.

This subgenus together with its sister subfamily, the Arinae, is part of the family Psittacidae.

The Neotropical parrots belong to the subfamily Arinae part of the family of the true parrots Psittacidae.

Like the other Neotropical parrots, the Monk Parakeet is usually placed in the tribe Arini, which might warrant elevation to subfamily rank as Arinae.

M. monachus belongs to the long-tailed clade of these - macaws and conures, essentially -, which would retain the name Arini/Arinae if this polyphyletic group is split.

The subfamily Arinae encompasses all the Neotropical parrots, including the Amazons, macaws and conures, and ranges from northern Mexico and the Bahamas to Tierra del Fuego in the southern tip of South America.
