Taxonomic note
Pyrrhura leucotis and P. emma (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as P. leucotis, under which P. griseipectus and P. pfrimeri were also formerly subsumed following (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993).

Population justification: The global population size is unknown given recent taxonomic splits.

Trend justification: The population is undergoing a decline (Partners in Flight 2019). Trapping pressure and land-use changes are thought to be affecting the species, but are currently not regarded as substantial threats (C. J. Sharpe in litt. 2014).
