Psittinus
Psittinus is a genus of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is usually considered to include a single species, the blue-rumped parrot (Psittinus cyanurus), but the large subspecies P. c. abbotti is sometimes elevated to species rank as the Simeulue parrot (P. abbotti).[1][2] While long considered part of Psittacula, a 2019 genetic analysis supported reclassifying both species under their own genus Psittinus.[3]
