Ramosomyia is a genus in family Trochilidae, the hummingbirds, that was created in 2021 to replace Leucolia.
The genus contains three species: [1]
| Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Violet-crowned hummingbird | Ramosomyia violiceps (Gould, 1859) Two subspecies
| Mexico and the southwestern United States. | Size: Habitat: Diet: | LC |
| Green-fronted hummingbird | Ramosomyia viridifrons (Elliot, 1871) | Mexico and possibly Guatemala | Size: Habitat: Diet: | LC |
| Cinnamon-sided hummingbird | Ramosomyia wagneri (Phillips, AR, 1966) | Mexico | Size: Habitat: Diet: | LC |
These species were early 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 Mexican species were placed in the resurrected genus Leucolia by some taxonomic systems. [3] However, a study published in 2021 showed that Leucolia was not available because of the principle of priority. The authors proposed the new genus Ramosomyia and in mid-2022 it was adopted by the North American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society and the International Ornithological Committee. [4] [5] [1] As of that date the Clements taxonomy retains the three species in Leucolia and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World in the earlier Amazilia. [6] [7]
