Polytelis
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
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),[1] 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.[2]
Taxonomy
The genus has three species.[3]
