The Yellow-faced Parrot (Alipiopsitta xanthops) is the only species of the genus Alipiopsitta and is found in central Brazil, from Maranhão south to northern Paraguay and eastern Bolivia.[2][4] Previously, it was placed within the genus Amazona and was sometimes called the Yellow-faced Amazon. Recent research showed that this species is much closer related to the Short-tailed Parrot (Graydidascalus brachyurus) and to the members of the genus Pionus.[5][6][7][8] In 2006, the genus name Salvatoria was changed to Alipiopsitta as it was a junior homonym of a genus Salvatoria McIntosh, 1885, a genus of exogonin syllid polychaetes.[2] This semi-nomadic parrot is found in eastern Brazil at the cerrado in low numbers and is declining or has already disappeared in large areas of its former range.[1]
