Elliotomyia is a genus in the family of Hummingbirds.
Species
The genus contains two species:[1]
| Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White-bellied hummingbird
| Elliotomyia chionogaster (Tschudi, 1846) Two subspecies
| Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru | Size: Habitat: Diet: | LC
|
| Green-and-white hummingbird
| Elliotomyia viridicauda (von Berlepsch, 1883) | Peru | Size: Habitat: Diet: | LC
|
These species were formerly placed in the genus Amazilia. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Amazilia was polyphyletic.[2] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, the white-bellied hummingbird and the green-and-white hummingbird were placed in a new genus Elliotomyia.[1][3][4]
