Parrots (Psittacidae)
Violet-necked Lory (Eos squamata) - HBW 4, p. 342
French: Lori écaillé
German: Kapuzenlori
Spanish: Lori Escamoso
Other common names: Moluccan Red Lory(!)
Taxonomy: Psittacus Squamatus Boddaert, 1783, Gebe.
All six Eos species comprise a superspecies. Proposed race atrocaerulea doubtfully valid, as based on juvenile birds; insularis is synonym of riciniata. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- riciniata (Bechstein, 1811) - N Moluccas, including Widi Is.
- obiensis Rothschild, 1899 - Obi and Bisa in NC Moluccas.
- squamata (Boddaert, 1783) - W Papuan Is and nearby Schildpad Is.
