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.
However, this is the only species of "conure" that is regularly referred to as such in ornithological circles; most others are called "parakeets" by authorities. The sun conure is monotypic, but the Aratinga solstitialis complex includes three additional species from Brazil: jandaya parakeet, golden-capped parakeet, and sulphur-breasted parakeet.
