Chalcostigma is a genus of South American hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae.
Taxonomy and species list
The genus Chalcostigma was introduced in 1854 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the bronze-tailed thornbill by George Gray.[2][3] The name of the genus is derived from the Greek khalkos meaning bronze and stigme for a spot or mark, a reference to the beard on the bronze-tailed thornbill.[4]
The genus contains the following five species:[5]
- Rufous-capped thornbill (Chalcostigma ruficeps)
- Olivaceous thornbill (Chalcostigma olivaceum)
- Blue-mantled thornbill (Chalcostigma stanleyi)
- Bronze-tailed thornbill (Chalcostigma heteropogon)
- Rainbow-bearded thornbill (Chalcostigma herrani)
