The Yellow-faced Parrot (Alipiopsitta xanthops) is the only species of the genus Alipiopsitta and is found in Brazil and occasionally in Bolivia. 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.[2][3][4][5] 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.[6]

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]
