About: Quercypsitta

An Entity of Type: Bird101503061, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Quercypsitta is a genus of prehistoric bird from the Late Eocene (circa 37-34 Mya) Quercy phosphorites in France. Known from rather fragmentary remains (some foot and wing bones for the type species Q. sudrei, three coracoids for the species Q. ivani), it was described as a parrot sufficiently distinct to be included in its own family, the Quercypsittidae. These birds apparently formed an early offshoot of the parrots which spread to Europe and became extinct in the Miocene at latest. This coincided with a period of global cooling, when their relatives - the ancestors of the African and Asian parrots known today - had in the meantime settled the warmer areas south of the Quercypsittidae's distribution.

  • Quercypsittaés un gènere d'ocells extint de finals de l'Eocè (c.37-34 milions d'anys) fosforites del Carcí de França. Va ser descrit com un lloro prou diferenciat per a ser inclès en una família diferent, la Quercypsittidae. Aquests lloros es van estendre per Europa i van quedar extints al Miocè. De vegades el gènere s'inclou dins els Quercypsittidae, però no està clar que aquest ocell sigui realment un lloro (Dyke i Cooper 2000). (ca)

The genus is sometimes included in the Quercypsittidae together with Quercypsitta, but it is not certain that the former was indeed a parrot. (en)
