'''Oné Couli''', ''Anodorhynchus purpurascens'', 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 = Fuller1987>{{cite book |title = Extinct Birds |pages = p. 148–9 |first = Errol |last = Fuller | year = 1987| publisher = Penguin Books (England) |isbn = 0670817972}}</ref>, but there is very little evidence to support it as separate species. Rothchild named the species because violet macaws were said to have inhabited the island of [[Guadeloupe]]; however, they were probably imported Hyacinth Macaws from the mainland of South America.<ref name = Fuller1987>{{cite book |title = Extinct Birds |pages = p. 148–9 |first = Errol |last = Fuller | year = 1987| publisher = Penguin Books (England) |isbn = 0670817972}}</ref>
