Toucans (Ramphastidae)
Curl-crested Araçari (Pteroglossus beauharnaesii) - HBW 7, p. 266
French: Araçari de Beauharnais
German: Krauskopfarassari
Spanish: Arasarí Crespo
Taxonomy: Pteroglossus Beauharnaesii Wagler, 1832, Pará; error = eastern Peru.
Distinct from congeners, and in past occasionally isolated in monotypic genus or subgenus Beauharnaisius. Probably related to ancestor of the “P. torquatus group”, which comprises P. aracari, P. castanotis, P. pluricinctus, P. torquatus and P. frantzii; recent work suggests it is unlikely to be related to P. inscriptus and P. bitorquatus. Monotypic.
Distribution: SW Amazonia S of Amazon, from N Peru (S of R Marañón) and W Brazil (E to mouth of R Madeira and, farther S, to upper R Xingu), S to N & C Bolivia (Pando, Cochabamba) and N Mato Grosso.
