Psittaculidaeis a family ofparrots,commonly known asOld World parrots,though this term is amisnomer,as not all its members occur in theOld Worldand somepsittacidsalso occur in the Old World. It consists of six subfamilies:Psittrichasinae,Agapornithinae,Loriinae,Platycercinae,PsittacellinaeandPsittaculinae.
Taxonomy[edit]
The following cladogram shows how the family Psittaculidae relates to the three other families in the orderPsittaciformes.The tree is based on the work by Leo Joseph and collaborators published in 2012 but with the choice of families and the number of species in each family taken from the list maintained byFrank Gill,Pamela Rasmussenand David Donsker on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), now theInternational Ornithologists' Union.[1][2]Joseph and collaborators proposed that the generaPsittrichasandCoracopsisshould be placed in their own family, Psittrichasidae.[1]This proposal has not been adopted by taxonomists involved in curating lists of the world birds and instead these two genera are included in an expanded family Psittaculidae.[2][3][4][5]

The family Psittaculidae contains 203 species and is divided into 54 genera. Included are 13 species that have become extinct in historical times.[2]The followingcladogramshowing the generic relationships is based on a molecular phylogenetic study by Brian Smith and collaborators that was published in 2023. In the analysis two pairs of genera were found not to bemonophyletic.These werePsittaculawithTanygnathusandCyclopsittawithPsittaculirostris.[6]The number of species in each genus is taken from the IOC list.[2]
