Taxonomy

[edit ]

The genus Aprosmictus was introduced in 1842 by the English ornithologist John Gould.[2] [3] The type species was designated as the red-winged parrot by George Gray in 1846.[4] The name is from the Ancient Greek απροσμικτος/aprosmiktos which means "unsociable" or "solitary".[5]

The genus contains two species:[1]
