Ivory-billed Aracari © tomambrose.wordpress.com

Vagrant to Ecuador (B) (NB).

Related to Eastern Red-necked Aracari (Pteroglossus bitorquatus) and Lettered Aracari (Pteroglossus inscriptus). Thought unlikely to be related directly to any of the "Pteroglossus torquatus group". Subspecies flavirostris and mariae sometimes considered to constitute two separate species, but both of these and nominate subspecies interbreed wherever they meet: mariae with nominate and flavirostris along Amazon, and with flavirostris also in northern Peru; flavirostris also interbreeds with nominate subspecies on upper R Negro. Subspecies mariae has hybridized with subspecies humboldti of Lettered Aracari (Pteroglossus inscriptus) in western Brazil (R Juruá), and hybrid was originally thought to be a distinct species under the name "Pteroglossus olallae". Present species, as constituted herein, has sometimes erroneously been named Pteroglossus flavirostris, apparently due to confusion over priority.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

• flavirostris Fraser, 1841   -  South-eastern Colombia, southern Venezuela and north-western Brazil (west of upper R Negro, south to northern bank of R Solimíµes) to eastern Ecuador and north-eastern Peru.
• azara (Vieillot, 1819)   -  Brazil in Amazonas, between western bank of R Negro and northern bank of R Solimíµes-Amazon.
• mariae Gould, 1854   -  South-western Amazonia.
