The Neotropical parrots (tribe Arini, sometimes subfamily Arinae) belong to the family of the true parrots Psittacidae. Some species have become extinct in recent centuries. They consist of two main groups, easily recognized as short-tailed and long-tailed species (Miyaki et al., 1998). Presently, there is increasing consideration to elevate the group to subfamily status, in which case the short- and long-tailed lineages would be considered tribes in the Arinae or even be divided into 2 subfamilies as they appear to be well distinct.

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.
