Saucerottia is a genus of birds in the family Trochilidae, or hummingbirds.
Species
The genus contains ten species:[1]
- Azure-crowned hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanocephala
- Blue-vented hummingbird, Saucerottia hoffmanni
- Berylline hummingbird, Saucerottia beryllina
- Blue-tailed hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanura
- Snowy-bellied hummingbird, Saucerottia edward
- Steely-vented hummingbird, Saucerottia saucerrottei
- Indigo-capped hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanifrons
- Chestnut-bellied hummingbird, Saucerottia castaneiventris
- Green-bellied hummingbird, Saucerottia viridigaster
- Copper-rumped hummingbird, Saucerottia tobaci
These species were formerly placed in the genus Amazilia. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Amazilia was polyphyletic.[2] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, these species were placed in the resurrected genus Saucerottia.[1][3]
