Crimson-bellied Parakeet (Pyrrhura perlata)
About the Crimson-bellied Parakeet
The crimson-bellied parakeet (Pyrrhura perlata), known as the crimson-bellied conure in aviculture, is a species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found in Bolivia and Brazil. The crimson-bellied parakeet's taxonomic history is potentially confusing. It has been assigned to several genera since its original description. Since the mid-1800s it was known as Pyrrhura rhodogaster, but following a 1983 review it was discovered that the type specimen for P. perlata, long believed to belong to the closely related pearly parakeet, actually was a juvenile crimson-bellied parakeet. Consequently, P. perlata was transferred to this species, while P. rhodogaster became a junior synonym under the principle of priority. The crimson-bellied parakeet is monotypic.
