| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Cyclopsitta gulielmitertii | Orange-breasted fig parrot | New Guinea and western nearby islands |
 |
Cyclopsitta diophthalma | Double-eyed fig parrot | Australia, New Guinea and nearby smaller islands |
The genus name Cyclopsitta is a combination of the Greek name of the mythical Cyclops (a race of one-eyed Sicilian giants, whose name is a combination of the Greek word kuklos, meaning "circle" and ōps, meaning "eye"), and the modern Latin psitta, meaning "parrot".[2]
