Pyrilia is a genus of parrots in the family Psittacidae. It was recently split from the now-monotypic Pionopsitta, and then briefly moved to Gypopsitta. But as Pyrilia was published a few months before Gypopsitta, the latter is a junior synonym.[http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCprop333.html Use of Pyrilia over Gypospsitta] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516004523/http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCprop333.html |date=2008-05-16 }}.

All are relatively short-tailed parrots that are restricted to forests in the Neotropics. Their head or face contrasts clearly with the mainly green body, and they have a brownish or olive patch on the chest.
