The new taxonomy from Joseph del Hoyo brings lots of news for all breeders and parrot lovers. His book HBW and Birdlife Internationall Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World was published in July 2014. Some subspecies became separated species, some disappeared and some species are now considered as subspecies. The latter case goes also for Barnardius parrots.

According to the Forshaw’s book Parrots of the World, genus Barnardius includes two species – Port Lincoln Parrot (Barnardius zonarius) and Mallee Ringneck Parrot (Barnardius barnardi). However, new taxonomy from del Hoyo says that both parrots represent the same species Barnardius zonarius. The Mallee Ringneck Parrot is considered there as subspecies Barnardius zonarius barnardi. Two former subspecies of Barnardius parrots – Barnardius zonarius occidentalis and Barnardius barnardi whitei don’t exist anymore according to del Hoyo.
