Synopsis

The colour-pattern of hybrids between Ara chloroptera male and Ara ararauna female (Aves, Psittaci) combines parental features with a character which is found in some more “primitive” species of the genus but does not occur in the two parent species. The anatomical significance of this “ancestral” pattern mark is discussed.
