Family: | Psittaculidae |

The parrot subfamily Psittaculinae consists of three tribes: the Polytelini with three genera, the Psittaculini or Asian psittacines, and the pygmy parrots of the Micropsittini tribe. [1]
Tribe Micropsittini:
Tribe Polytelini:
Tribe Psittaculini:
The subdivisions within the genus Psittacula are controversial, as recent genetic studies indicate that it is paraphyletic. Thus, suggestions have been made to either split the genus into 6 different genera or keep Psittacula as it is but include Tanygnathus, Psittinus, and Mascarinus within it.
