Elliotomyia is a genus in the family of Hummingbirds.
Species
The genus contains two species:
| Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White-bellied hummingbird | Elliotomyia chionogaster (Tschudi, 1846) Two subspecies E. c. chionogasterE. c. hypoleuca | 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. 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.
