1 Classification of subfamilies and genera adopted from McGuire et al. (2009) [McGuire, 2009 #10964], with modifications for unsampled taxa based on Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535].
2 Hybrids known to Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013] not listed: two described since are Augasma cyaneoberillina Berlioz, 1965 [Berlioz, 1965 #288] and Phasmornis mystica Oberholser, 1974 [Oberholser, 1974 #2808]. Others resolved since are footnoted.
3 Includes pamprepta; see Hu et al. (2000) [Hu Da-Shih, 2000 #2028], but see also Schmitz-Ornés & Schuchmann (2011) [Schmitz-Ornés, 2011 #13269].
4 For recognition see Hu et al. (2000) [Hu Da-Shih, 2000 #2028], but see also Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535] and Schmitz-Ornés & Schuchmann (2011) [Schmitz-Ornés, 2011 #13269].
5 Treatment as a separate species from T. pella controversial; see Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535] and Schmitz-Ornés & Schuchmann (2011) [Schmitz-Ornés, 2011 #13269], but see also Hu et al. (2000) [Hu Da-Shih, 2000 #2028].
6 Subspecies assignment is uncertain for populations from WC Brazil.
7 Previously treated in a monotypic genus Melanotrochilus, but see Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535].
8 Includes munda; see Hinkelmann (1999) [Hinkelmann, 1999 #1973].

14 The name Threnetes grzimeki Ruschi, 1973 [Ruschi, 1973 #3424], refers to immature specimens of this taxon (Hinkelmann 1988) [Hinkelmann, 1988 #1968].
15 Gill & Gerwin (1989) [Gill, 1989 #14215] recommended placing Threnetes in Glaucis.
16 Population from E Panama to N and W Colombia has been called darienensis, but this thought to represent intergradation among the subspecies; see Hinkelmann (1999) [Hinkelmann, 1999 #1973].
17 Hinkelmann (1999) [Hinkelmann, 1999 #1973] treated this as conspecific with T. niger.

23 This species previously treated as conspecific with P. striigularis and P. atrimentalis, but see Hinkelmann (1999) [Hinkelmann, 1999 #1973].
24 The name imatacae Phelps & Phelps, Jr., 1952 [Phelps, 1952 #3034] relates to a hybrid specimen, as does aethopyga J.T. Zimmer, 1950 [Zimmer, 1950 #4307]; see Hinkelmann (1996) [Hinkelmann, 1996 #1971].
25 For treatment as a valid taxon, at the species level, see Piacentini et al. (2009) [Piacentini, 2009 #11795]. It had previously been treated by Hinkelmann (1996) [Hinkelmann, 1996 #1971] and Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535] as a hybrid between P. ruber and P. rupurumii amazonicus.

92 For treatment as a separate species from H. exortis see Bleiweiss (1992) [Bleiweiss, 1992 #14211] and Heynen (1999) [Heynen, 1999 #1960].
93 Includes pyropus Weller, 2011 [Weller, 2011 #13549]; also includes H. splendidus Weller, 2011 [Weller, 2011 #13549]. See Appendix 2.2.
94 Known only from the type specimen, and not considered a valid species by Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535]; however, Kirchman et al. (2010) [Kirchman, 2010 #11973] found that not only is it a valid species, but that it does not belong in Heliangelus and is rather a member of a group that includes Aglaiocercus, Taphrolesbia, and Adelomyia.

96 Monotypic treatment of Roy (1999) [Roy, 1999 #3406] presumably includes albicans A. Kleinschmidt, 1970 [Kleinschmidt, 1970 #2236], although this seems to have been an infrasubspecific name and thus unavailable, and mariannae A. Kleinschmidt, 1970 [Kleinschmidt, 1970 #2236].
97 Name taken from plate appearing before text requires recognition of joint authorship see Dickinson et al. (2011) [Dickinson, 2011 #13287].

102 Includes Paphosia; see Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535].
103 In the original work the plate dates from 1833, but this name was introduced in the text in 1832.
104 For treatment as a separate species from L. delattrei see Banks (1990) [Banks, 1990 #194].
105 Lophornis melaniae represents aberrant specimens or faded skins of L. d. delattrei; see Walters (1997) [Walters, 1997 #4078].
106 Presumably the sister to L. pavoninus; see Züchner (1999) [Züchner, 1999 #4343]. These were formerly (Peters 1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013] placed in a separate genus Polemistria, but see Zimmer (1950) [Zimmer, 1950 #4310].
107 For correction to authorship see Dickinson (2010) [Dickinson, 2010 #12609].
108 See Zimmer (1950) [Zimmer, 1950 #4310] for precedence to be given to Temminck as author. However, Bechstein (1811) may be the correct original author, although evidence for this has yet to be published.

116 Correct original spelling. Spelling kingi in Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013] an ISS.
117 Formerly treated as a subspecies of A. kingii; for treatment as a separate species see Schuchmann & Duffner (1993) [Schuchmann, 1993 #14225].
118 Correct original spelling. Invariable; noun phrase in apposition; mistakenly treated as variable by Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013].
119 Species limits controversial (Schuchmann 1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535]. Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013] treated stolzmanni, bolivianus and estella as separate species, but see Zimmer (1951) [Zimmer, 1951 #4314].
120 For treatment as a separate species from O. estella see Fjeldså (1999) [Fjeldså, 1999 #4377].
121 Forms a superspecies with O. chimborazo, and O.leucopleurus, and with O. stolzmanni when that taxon is treated as a separate species; see Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535].
122 Formerly, e.g. by Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013] treated as a separate species, but may not be diagnosable; see Zimmer (1951) [Zimmer, 1951 #4314]. For recognition see Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535].
123 Treated as a subspecies of O. estella by Zimmer (1951) [Zimmer, 1951 #4314].
124 The name eucharis probably represents hybrids between this and L. nuna; see Weller & Schuchmann (2004) [Weller, 2004 #4114]. Treated as a subspecies of L. victoriae by Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013].
125 Zodalia glyceria, treated as a valid species by Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013], is a hybrid between L. victoriae and Chalcostigma herrani; see Graves (1999) [Graves, 1999 #14220].

127 Treated as a separate species, including gracilis, pallidiventris, aureliae, and huallagae, by Weller & Schuchmann (2004) [Weller, 2004 #4114].
128 The subspecies eucharis is rejected by these authors, finding it, and apparently the junior synonym (chlorura) see Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535] to be a hybrid (L. nuna X L. victoriae); this name assumes part of the range previously associated with that.
129 Treated as not diagnosable from nominate nuna by Züchner (1999) [Züchner, 1999 #4343], but see Weller & Schuchmann (2004) [Weller, 2004 #4114].

149 Eriocnemis isaacsonii, treated by Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013] as a valid species, is now treated as a hybrid (Heynen 1999) [Heynen, 1999 #1960].
150 Eriocnemis soderstromi, treated as a questionable species by Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013], is considered a hybrid between this and E. luciani; see Graves (1996) [Graves, 1996 #14218].
151 Original spelling arcosi. Here emended based on internal information: named for Laura Arcos.
152 Includes longirostris; see Heynen (1999) [Heynen, 1999 #1960], but see also Schuchmann et al. (2001) [Schuchmann, 2001 #3538].

269 Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535] revised Amazilia by elevating subgenera Saucerottia and Polyerata to full genera and by recognising genus Agyrtria Reichenbach, 1854, which was a new name for Thaumatias, a junior objective synonym of Polytmus. None of these is monophyletic (McGuire et al. 2009 [McGuire, 2009 #10964]), but reclassification awaits more thorough taxon-sampling.

(2006) [Restall, 2006 #12477]. Amazilia cyaneotincta, treated as a species by Peters (1945) [Peters, 1945 #3013], is probably an aberrant A. fimbriata or A. amabilis see Schuchmann (1999) [Schuchmann, 1999 #3535].
