Military Macaw Ara militaris

Not evaluated by Guyra Paraguay (2004). A specimen in the Geneva museum (MHNG 133030) lacks collection data other than the entry date 1831 and includes a note “probably Paraguay ” that expresses clear doubt about the provenance. This is clearly in error and the specimen must have originated elsewhere as the ecoregions in which the species occurs are not found in Paraguay.
