Taxonomy edit

The genus Hylocharis was introduced in 1831 by the German naturalist Friedrich Boie.[1] The type species was designated by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840 as the rufous-throated sapphire.[2][3] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek hulē meaning "woodland" or "forest" with kharis meaning "beauty".[4]

This genus formerly included additional species. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Hylocharis was polyphyletic.[5] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, species were moved to Chrysuronia and Chlorestes.[6][7]

The genus now contains the following two species:[6]
