The rainbow lorikeet has often included the red-collared lorikeet (T. rubritorquis) as a subspecies, but today most major authorities consider it separate. [14] [15] Additionally, a review in 1997 led to the recommendation of splitting off some of the most distinctive taxa from the Lesser Sundas as separate species, these being the scarlet-breasted lorikeet (T. forsteni), the marigold lorikeet ...
The type species was subsequently designated as the coconut lorikeet. [4] [5] Following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study of the lorikeets in 2020, three species were moved from Trichoglossus to the newly erected genus Saudareos. These were the Mindanao lorikeet, the ornate lorikeet and the Sula lorikeet (formerly the citrine ...

The subfamily Loriinae was introduced in 1836 (as Loriana and Lorianae) by the English naturalist Prideaux John Selby in his book The Natural History of Parrots. [1] [2] Traditionally it was considered that the lories were the only members of the subfamily Loriinae, or were integrated into their own family, Loriidae, [3] but currently they are classified as a tribe, Loriini, within a larger ...

Rainbow lorikeet [ edit ] Native to the eastern seaboard of mainland Australia , several feral colonies of rainbow lorikeets ( Trichoglossus haematodus ) have been established in Perth, Western Australia , [ 2 ] Tasmania , [ 3 ] and Auckland , New Zealand .
The group consists of the lories and lorikeets. Traditionally, they were considered a separate subfamily ( Loriinae ) from the other subfamily ( Psittacinae ) based on the specialized characteristics, but recent molecular and morphological studies show that the group is positioned in the middle of various other groups.
The leaf lorikeet (Trichoglossus weberi), also known as the Flores lorikeet or Weber's lorikeet, is a species of parrot that is endemic to the Indonesian island of Flores. It was previously considered a subspecies of the rainbow lorikeet , [ 2 ] but following a review in 1997, [ 3 ] it is increasingly treated as a separate species.
