Family:Ramphastidae
Genus:Aulacorhynchus
Aulacorhynchus is a genus of bird in the Ramphastidae family. With a total length of 30-40 cm (12-16 in), they are relatively small toucans, and all are mainly green. All are found in humid forest and woodland in mountains, but a few also occur in adjacent lowlands. Changes in the taxonomy of Aulacorhynchus prasinus and A. sulcatus complexes have been proposed in recent years; see species articles for further on these matters. This genus contains the following species:
  • Blue-banded Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus coeruleicinctis)
  • Chestnut-tipped Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus derbianus)
  • Crimson-rumped Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus haematopygus)
  • Yellow-browed Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus huallagae)
  • Emerald Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus)
  • Wagler's Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) wagleri)
  • Blue-throated Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) caeruleogularis)
  • Violet-throated or Nelson's Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) cognatus)
  • Santa Marta Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) lautus)
  • (North) Andean Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) albivitta)
  • Black-throated or Peruvian Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (prasinus) atrogularis)
  • Groove-billed Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus sulcatus)
  • Yellow-billed Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus (sulcatus) calorhynchus)

Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.
