From HandWiki

Saucerottia is a genus of birds in the family Trochilidae, or hummingbirds.

Species

The species now placed in this genus were formerly placed in Amazilia. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Amazilia was polyphyletic.[1] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, these species were placed in the resurrected genus Saucerottia.[2][3] The genus had been introduced in 1850 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte with the steely-vented hummingbird as the type species.[4][5] The genus name is from the specific epithet saucerrottei for the steely-vented hummingbird. The epithet was coined in 1846 by Adolphe Delattre and Jules Bourcier to honour the French physician and ornithologist Antoine Constant Saucerotte.[6]

The genus contains eleven species:[2]
