Polytelis swainsonii Polytelis anthopeplus Polytelis alexandrae | ||||||||||||||||
The genus Polytelis of the family Psittacidae consists of three species long-tailed parrot endemic to Australia. It is not clear whether they belong to the Asian parakeets and relatives, or the Australian Broad-tailed parrots. They are usually classified with the former due to their size, general shape, and color pattern (e.g. Forshaw & Cooper 1981), but mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data gives a rather more confusing picture (Miyaki et al. 1998). On the other hand, sex chromosome spindlin sequence analyses are in favor of the traditional placement.

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.
