Its native name was '''Oné Couli'''.{{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} It was described by [[Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild|Rothschild]] and featured in his book, ''[[Extinct Birds (Rothschild book)|Extinct Birds]]'' published in 1907,<ref name = Rothschild1907>{{cite book |title = Extinct Birds |first = Walter |last = Rothschild | year = 1907| publisher = Hutchison, London}}</ref> but there is very little evidence to support it as separate species.<ref name = Fuller1987/> Rothschild named the species because uniform bluish coloured macaws were said to have inhabited the island of [[Guadeloupe]];<ref name = Rothschild1907/> however, they were probably [[Hyacinth Macaw]]s imported from the mainland of [[South America]].<ref name = Fuller1987>{{cite book |title = Extinct Birds |pages = 148–149 |first = Errol |last = Fuller | year = 1987| publisher = Penguin Books (England) |isbn = 0-670-81797-2 {{Please check ISBN|reason=Check digit (2) does not correspond to calculated figure.}}}}</ref>
