The Culebra Island amazon (Amazona vittata gracilipes),[1] also known as the Culebran parrot or the Culebran red-fronted amazon, is an extinct subspecies of the Puerto Rican amazon that was native to Culebra Island, Puerto Rico.[2] The last record of the subspecies was in 1912, which is generally recorded as its extinction date, although scattered individuals may have survived longer on the island.[2] It was first described by Robert Ridgway in 1915, three years after the subspecies' approximate extinction.[3][4]
