Anyone know the full synonymous scientific name (linked to Sparrman) of today's Blue Lorikeet Vini peruviana* MÜLLER 1776 … ?

And, if so, its Auctor?

PS. Not the synonym of Red-fronted Parakeet Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae SPARRMAN 1787]. That one I´ve got!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*[Peru; error = Tahiti, thereby a k a "Tahiti -" or "Tahitian Lorikeet/Lory"

Thanks James!

I agree; this correspond with the (attached) Richmond card?

So; what´s the full synonym of Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae SPARRMAN 1787?

Mr. Sparrman and "his" various sparmanii / sparmanni / sparrmani / sparrmanii / sparrmanni and sparrmannii is certainly not the easiest guy to trace!

PS: Here we´re obviously posting simultaniously!?

Great, James!

I was clearly very close to confuse those two synonyms; sparmanni vs sparmanii ...

Thanks for stopping me!

Cheers!
