Psittacula
Psittacula, also known as Afro-Asian ring-necked parrots, is a genus of parrots from Africa and Southeast Asia. It is a widespread group with a clear concentration of species in south Asia, but also with representatives in Africa and the islands of the Indian Ocean. This is the only genus of parrot which has the majority of its species in continental Asia. Of all the extant species only Psittacula calthropae, Psittacula caniceps and Psittacula echo do not have a representative subspecies in any part of mainland continental Asia. The rose-ringed parakeet, Psittacula krameri, is one of the most

species of bird (extinct)
Polytelis
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), but molecular studies place the genus within the Polytelini.
Prioniturus
The genus Prioniturus, commonly known as racket-tails, contains ten species in the parrot family Psittaculidae that are found in the Philippines and Indonesia. They are easily distinguished from all other parrots by their elongated central tail feathers with the bare shaft and spatula at the end.
Tanygnathus
Tanygnathus is a genus of parrots in the Psittaculini tribe, of the superfamily of Psittacoidea (true parrots).
Geoffroyus
Geoffroyus is a genus of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. The four species are found in and around New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, northern Australia and the islands of Indonesia. It contains the following species: Red-cheeked parrot (Geoffroyus geoffroyi) Blue-collared parrot (Geoffroyus simplex) Song parrot (Geoffroyus heteroclitus) Rennell parrot (Geoffroyus hyacinthinus) thumb|left|upright|Possibly extinct variety, Geoffroyus aureus
Psittaculini
Psittaculini is a tribe of parrots of the family Psittaculidae. The subdivisions within the tribe are controversial.
Eclectus
Eclectus is a genus of parrot, the Psittaciformes, which consists of four known extant species known as eclectus parrots and the extinct Eclectus infectus, the oceanic eclectus parrot. The extant eclectus parrots are medium-sized parrots native to regions of Oceania, particularly New Guinea and Australia. Males are mostly bright green, females are predominantly bright red. The male and female eclectus were once thought to be different species. The conservation status of the remaining species is least concern. Eclectus parrots do well in captivity, and are a very popular pet across the world.
Psittinus
Psittinus is a genus of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It was formerly considered to include a single species, the blue-rumped parrot (Psittinus cyanurus), but the Simeulue parrot (P. abbotti) was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021. A 2019 genetic analysis found that the genus Psittacula is paraphyletic with respect to Psittinus, indicating that Psittacula may have to be split into different genera in order to maintain Psittinus as a distinct genus.
