The Psittacidae are a group of parrots that were treated by Joseph et al. 2012 as uniting the African Psittacinae with the Neotropical Arinae. Earlier authors had commonly used ‘Psittacidae’ in a broader sense covering most or all of the living parrots. The Psittacinae have also included many of the more ‘generalised’ parrot species but such a grouping has not been supported phylogenetically. The Arinae are morphologically diverse but biogeographically distinct, being the only clade of parrots native to the Neotropics.
