Psittacara chloroptera occurs in
Haiti and the
Dominican Republic, with feral populations in Puerto Rico (to USA) (Juniper and Parr 1998, Raffaele
et al. 1998)
and possibly Florida, USA (Juniper and Parr 1998)
, and Guadeloupe (to France) (Raffaele
et al. 1998)
. The extinct race
maugei formerly occurred on Isla Mona in Puerto Rico (Raffaele
et al. 1998)
, but went extinct around 1900 (Fuller 2000). It is now generally rare with isolated populations in the Cordillera Central, Sierra de Baoruco and the suburbs of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (S. Latta
in litt. 1998)
. Recent records from Monte Cristi and Ebano Verde may represent additional local populations (S. Latta
in litt. 1998)
. Its status in Haiti is unclear. It has been suggested that it may be extinct in Haiti (Juniper and Parr 1998)
, and the species was not recorded in the previously inhabited La Viste National Park in 2000 (Dávalos and Brooks 2001)
, but there are also claims that it is common in the Massif de la Selle and la Citadelle area of the Massif du Nord (Raffaele
et al. 1998)
.
