Pacific Parakeet (Psittacara strenuus) [XC812384]
     by Peter Boesman from Los Tarrales, Suchitep\u00e9quez, Guatemala (call)

 
Pacific Parakeet (Psittacara strenuus) [XC139319]
     by Guillermo Funes from Santa Cruz, Marcovia, Honduras (call)

Subspecies
Aratinga holochlora (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was previously split into Green Parakeet (Psittacara holochlorus), Socorro Parakeet (Psittacara brevipes), Red-throated Parakeet (Psittacara rubritorquis) and Pacific Parakeet (Aratinga strenua) following Stotz et al. (1996), contra AOU (1998). Following a review by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group (BTWG), Socorro Parakeet (Psittacara brevipes) and Red-throated Parakeet (Psittacara rubritorquis) are retained as species contra AOU (1998), but Pacific Parakeet (Aratinga strenua) has been lumped with Green Parakeet (Psittacara holochlorus) contra AOU (1998). The BTWG recognises Red-throated Parakeet (Psittacara rubritorquis) and Socorro Parakeet (Psittacara brevipes) as species separate from Green Parakeet (Psittacara holochlorus) for the reasons given in Howell and Webb (1995).

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Green Parakeet (Psittacara holochlorus).

No subspecies.
