Chlorestes is a genus of hummingbirds.
Species
The genus contains five species:[1]
- White-bellied emerald, Chlorestes candida (formerly placed in Amazilia)
- Blue-throated sapphire, Chlorestes eliciae (formerly placed in Hylocharis)
- White-chinned sapphire, Chlorestes cyanus (formerly placed in Hylocharis)
- Violet-bellied hummingbird, Chlorestes julie (formerly placed in Juliamyia)
- Blue-chinned sapphire, Chlorestes notata
This genus formerly included only the blue-chinned sapphire. Additional species were moved to this genus based on a molecular phylogenetic study of the hummingbirds published in 2014.[1][2][3]
