FIGURE 15. Author's scaled drawing illustrating the morphologies of the larger endemic Mascarene parrots. A, Necropsittacus rodericanus (extremely large head and jaws, comparatively small body with long tail); B, Lophopsittacus mauritianus (frontal crest, extremely large head and jaws, comparatively small body with long graduated tail, the two central tail feathers longer than the rest); C, Psittacula bensoni, new comb. (typical Psittacula morphology, most similar to Psittacula eupatria); D, Mascarinus mascarinus (comparatively large head and jaws, stocky body with a moderately long, broad and rounded, not graduated tail).
