==Taxonomy==
The genus, ''Anodorhynchus'' <small>Spix, 1824</small><ref name = zoonomen>{{cite web | url =http://www.zoonomen.net/avtax/psit.html |title = Zoological Nomenclature Resource: Psittaciformes (Version 9.004) |date =2008-07-05 |publisher = www.zoonomen.net }}</ref> is one of six genera of Central and South American macaws in tribe ''Arini'' of macaws, parakeets and closely related genera. The macaws and parakeets comprise the clade of long-tailed parrots which with sister clade the short-tailed Amazonian parrots and allies make up subfamily ''Arinae'' of Neotropical parrots in family ''Psittacidae'' of true parrots. There are three currently recognized species (two extant and one probably extinct), all [[monotypic]]:<ref>{{cite book|author=Donald, Collar|author2=Marsden, Pain|title=Handbook of the Birds of the World, v4|year=1997|publisher=Lynx|location=Barcelona,Spain}}</ref>

Some recent commentators have suggested that the allopatric Lear's macaw and glaucous macaw should be considered conspecifics.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}}

Besides the three recognised species, there is the [[violet macaw]], ''Anodorhynchus purpurascens'', which was described by [[Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild|Rothschild]] and featured in his book, ''[[Extinct Birds (Rothschild book)|Extinct Birds]]'' published in 1907, but there is very little evidence to support it as separate species and it should be regarded as a [[hypothetical extinct species]]. In the absence of a specimen, Rothschild scientifically described and named it as a separate species based on the evidence that violet macaws were said to have inhabited the island of [[Guadeloupe]]; however, they were probably hyacinth macaws imported from the mainland of South America.<ref name = Fuller1987>{{cite book |title = Extinct Birds |pages = 148–9 |first = Errol |last = Fuller | year = 1987| publisher = Penguin Books (England) |isbn = 0-670-81787-2}}</ref>
