Golden-capped conures (Aratinga auricapillus)—also known as golden-capped parakeets—are native to Brazil and Paraguay. Their natural habitats include subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, dry savanna, and plantations. The existence of this conure is threatened by habitat loss.
Included are four species that have become extinct in historical times: the glaucous macaw, the Carolina parakeet, the Cuban macaw and the Puerto Rican parakeet. The following cladogram is based on a phylogenetic study by Brian Smith and collaborators that was published in 2023.
The Arini tribe of the neotropical parrots is a monophyletic clade of macaws and parakeets (commonly called conures in aviculture) characterized by colorful plumage and long, tapering tails. They occur throughout Mexico , Central America , and South America , the Caribbean and the southern United States .
The type species was subsequently designated as the sun parakeet. [3] [4] The genus name is from the extinct Tupi language of Brasil. Ará tinga means "bright bird" or "bright parrot". [5] The taxonomy of this genus has recently been resolved by splitting it in four genera, as the genus as previously defined was paraphyletic.
The golden parakeet or golden conure (Guaruba guarouba), or the Queen of Bavaria conure [3] is a medium-sized golden-yellow Neotropical parrot native to the Amazon Basin of interior northern Brazil. It is the only species placed in the genus Guaruba. Its plumage is mostly bright yellow, hence its common name, but it also possesses green remiges.
This revision was based on earlier studies. According to a mtDNA-based phylogenetic analysis of the genus Aratinga by Ribas & Miyaki (2004), the nanday conure forms a monophyletic group with the sun conure (A. solstitialis), jenday conure (A. jandaya), and golden-capped conure (A. auricapilla).
