'''''Psephotellus''''' is a genus of medium sized Australian parrots. Four species found across the country are recognised, one is presumed to have become extinct.
The genus '''''Psephotus''''' has five species of [[parakeet]]s from [[Australia]]. All species show considerable [[sexual dimorphism]].

Psephotellus is a genus of medium sized Australian parrots. Four species found across the country are recognised, one is presumed to have become extinct.

Description

[edit]

All species show considerable sexual dimorphism. These species have traditionally been placed in the genus Psephotus along with the red-rumped parrot, but a molecular study analysing nuclear and mitochondrial DNA found that the red-rumped parrot was an early offshoot in a clade of several genera of broad-tailed parrot, with the other species nested deeply within.[2][3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genus was first proposed by Gregory Mathews in 1913, nominating the paradise parrot Platycercus pulcherrimus Gould as the type and forming a new combination as Psephotellus pulcherrimus.[4]
