Eunymphicus View in CoL

The two species of Eunymphicus are midsized green parrots that have a black mask and crest, red and yellow crowns and long tails. They occur in the New Caledonian archipelago. Boon et al. (2008) found genetic, morphological, and behavioral data supporting recognition of two species, E. cornutus of Grande Terre (New Caledonia’s main island) and E. uvaeensis of Ouvéa in the Loyalty Islands. Our time-calibrated tree dates this split at 3.2 Mya (1–5.1; fig. 11).
