Nesophlox lyrura | Inagua woodstar | Inagua in the Bahamas. |
These species were formerly placed in the genus Calliphlox. Molecular phylogenetic studies published in 2014 and 2017 found that the genus Calliphlox was polyphyletic.[2][3] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, the Bahama woodstar and the Inagua woodstar were moved to the resurrected genus Nesophlox that had been introduced by Robert Ridgway in 1910.[1][4]
