Wagler's Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus wagleri)
About the Wagler's Toucanet
The northern emerald toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus) also called the Wagler’s toucanet, is a species of bird in the toucan family Ramphastidae. It occurs in montane regions from southern Mexico to southern Panama. The northern emerald toucanet was formally described and illustrated in 1833 by the English ornithologist John Gould. He coined the binomial name Pteroglossus prasinus and specified the locality as Mexico. The specific epithet prasinus is Latin meaning "leek-green", from Ancient Greek πρασον/prason meaning "leek". The northern emerald toucanet is now one of eight toucanets placed in the genus Aulacorhynchus that was introduced in 1835 by Gould.
