The lories have been referred to a considerable number of genera, of which Lorius (the Domicella of some authors), Eos and Chalcopsittacus may be here particularized, while under the name of " lorikeets " may be comprehended such genera as Trichogiossus, Charmosyna, Loriculus and Coriphilus . By most systematists some of these forms have been placed far apart, even in different families of Psittaci, but A . H . Garrod hasshown (Proc . Zool .
