Neophemini

The tribe Neophemini contains two genera, Neophema and Neopsephotus and belongs to the subfamily Platycercinae, or Broad-tailed parrots. The Bourke's Parrot (Neopsephotus bourkii) is sometimes considered a member of the genus Neophema. A close relative to the tribe is the Budgerigar (tribe Melopsittacini). Formerly, the Platycercini tribe was also considered closely related, but this is apparently incorrect.

In an alternative classification, the Neophemini are sunk in the broad-tailed parrots, which are only considered a tribe, Platycercini. More recent research suggests that the broad-tailed parrots may indeed be a subfamily, but that the Neophemini are almost certainly invalid and should form a tribe.
