Taxonomy
German naturalist Eduard Rüppell first described the Yellow-fronted Parrot in 1845. Its species name is derived from the Latin words flavus "yellow", and frons "forehead". It is also known as the Yellow-faced Parrot. Most recent authorities treat it as monotypic, but some recognized two slightly different subspecies, P. f. flavifrons and P. f. aurantiiceps.
