Abstract
A new, apparently isolated subspecies of the Australian Ringneck Parrot (Barnardius zonarius) is described from the Upper Cooper Creek drainage in far north-eastern South Australia and neighbouring extreme south-western Queensland. If two species are recognised in Barnardius, this form would be a subspecies of B. barnardi.
