Polytelis
Regent parrots,
Polytelis anthopeplus
Scientific classification Edit this classification
Domain: Eukaryota
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Psittaciformes
Family: Psittaculidae
Tribe: Polytelini
Genus: Polytelis
Wagler, 1832
Type species
Psittacus barrabandi[1]
Swainson, 1821
Species

Polytelis swainsonii
Polytelis anthopeplus
Polytelis alexandrae

The genus Polytelis (literally translates into 'magnificent') of the family Psittaculidae consists of three species long-tailed parrot endemic to Australia. Traditionally, it was included in the Australian broad-tailed parrots (tribe Platycercini),[2] but molecular studies place the genus within the Polytelini.

A 2017 molecular study placed the regent parrot as an early offshoot to the genus Asprosmictus and not as closely related to the other two species.[3]
