Taxonomy

Taxonomic note
Ramphastos vitellinus, R. culminatus, R. citrolaemus and R. ariel (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as R. vitellinus following SACC (2006) and a review by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group, and before then were split as R. vitellinus, R. culminatus and R. citreolaemus following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993).

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to habitat fragmentation, loss of suitable nesting sites, hunting and use in traditional medicine (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
