Thaumasius is a genus in the family of Hummingbirds, and consists of 2 species.
These two species were formerly placed in the genus Leucippus . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Leucippus was polyphyletic. [1] To resolve the polyphyly these two species were moved to the resurrected genus Thaumasius that had been introduced by Philip Sclater in 1879 with the spot-throated hummingbird as the type species.
