Eupsittula canicularis, also known as the orange-fronted parakeet, orange-fronted conure, half-moon conure or Petz's conure [3] is a Vulnerable species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found from western Mexico to Costa Rica. [4] [1]
The genus Eupsittula was introduced in 1853 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte with the orange-fronted parakeet as the type species. [3] [4] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek eu meaning "good" with the Modern Latin psittula meaning "little parrot".
Conures are as diverse a group as African parrots, so trying to characterize them all is difficult and inaccurate. The category conure is loosely defined because they do not currently constitute a natural, scientific grouping. The term conure is now used mostly in aviculture. Scientists tend to refer to these birds as "parrots" or "parakeets".

Neotropical parrots comprise at least two monophyletic clades, one of primarily long-tailed species such as the macaws, conures, and allies, and the other of primarily short-tailed parrots such as amazons and allies. [3] A new species, the bald parrot or orange-headed parrot, was discovered as recently as 2002.
