List Of Hummingbird Species

Two extinct species known only from 19th century specimens, Brace's emerald and Gould's emerald, are included. This list is presented in IOC taxonomic sequence Taxonomic sequence (also known as systematic, phyletic or taxonomic order) is a sequence followed in listing of taxa which aids ease of use and roughly reflects the evolutionary relationships among the taxa.

International Ornithological Committee
The International Ornithologists' Union, formerly known as the International Ornithological Committee, is a group of about 200 international ornithologists, and is responsible for the International Ornithological Congress and other international ornithological activities, undertaken by its standing committees. International Ornithological Congress The International Ornithological Congress series forms the oldest and largest international series of meetings of ornithologists. It is organised by the International Ornithologists' Union. The first meeting was in 1884; subsequent meetings were irregular until 1926 since when meetings have been held every four years, except for two missed meetings during and in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.

Buff-tailed Sicklebill
:Epimachus albertisi'', a bird-of-paradise from New Guinea, is also sometimes called "buff-tailed sicklebill".'' The buff-tailed sicklebill (''Eutoxeres condamini'') is a species of hermit hummingbird from the lower Andes and adjacent west Amazonian lowlands from southern Colombia and northern Ecuador to Peru and Bolivia.Hinkelmann (1999) Description With a total length of and weighing , it is a relatively large hummingbird. Males and females are virtually identical, differing only in size (especially wing measurements), with the females being some 20% smaller. Its upperparts are iridescent dull greenish, while the underparts are whitish, densely streaked with dusky. The neck-side has a relatively faint blue patch. The tips of the rectrices (tail feathers) are white, and there is a naked stripe on top of the head (but this is usually concealed). The most conspicuous features, however, are those the common name refers to: the bill is strongly decurved, and the outer three rectr ...

Black Jacobin
The black jacobin (''Florisuga fusca'') is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Taxonomy and systematics The black jacobin was traditionally placed in the monotypic genus ''Melanotrochilus'', but voice, anatomy, and reproductive behavior place it in ''Florisuga'' with the white-necked jacobin. The species is monotypic.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, A. Jaramillo, D. F. Lane, J. F. Pacheco, M. B. Robbins, F. G. Stiles, and K. J. Zimmer. Version 24 August 2021.

White-necked Jacobin
The white-necked jacobin (''Florisuga mellivora'') is a medium-size hummingbird that ranges from Mexico south through Central America and northern South America into Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. It is also found in Trinidad & Tobago. Other common names are great jacobin and collared hummingbird. Taxonomy In 1743 the English naturalist George Edwards included a picture and a description of the white-necked jacobin in his ''A Natural History of Uncommon Birds''. He used the English name "white-belly'd huming bird". Edwards based his etching on a specimen owned by the Duke of Richmond that had been collected in Suriname. When in 1758 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his ''Systema Naturae'' for the tenth edition, he placed the white-necked jacobin with the other hummingbirds in the genus ''Trochilus''. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name ''Trochilus mellivorus'' and cited Edwards' work. The specific epithet combines the Latin ''mel'' meaning " ...

Fiery Topaz
The fiery topaz (''Topaza pyra'') is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It has brilliant iridescent plumage and resides in northern South America, where it consumes nectar and insects. Taxonomy and systematics The genus ''Topaza'' and its sister genus ''Florisuga'' form the topazes group, which together with the hermits represent the most ancient branch within the family Trochilidae. The Topazes group contains some of the largest hummingbirds in the family, adult males measuring up to 23 cm and weighing up to 12 g. Topazes as a group are estimated to have diverged as a separate lineage from all other hummingbirds around 21.5 Ma, whereas the most recent common ancestor of ''Topaza'' and ''Florisuga'' lived approximately 19 Ma. Two morphospecies are recognized within ''Topaza'': ''T. pyra'', and the crimson topaz, ''T. pella''. The species status of ''T. pyra'' has been challenged by some authors, who consider this genus to be monotypic. Arguments for and a ...
