Chrysuronia is a genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae.

Taxonomy

The genus Chrysuronia was introduced in 1850 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte.[1] Bonaparte did not specify a type species but this was designated as the golden-tailed sapphire in 1855 by George Robert Gray.[2][3] The genus name is a portmanteau of the specific names of two synonyms of the golden-tailed sapphire: Ornismya chrysura Lesson, R, 1832 and Ornismia oenone Lesson, 1832.[4]

This genus formerly included only a single species, the golden-tailed sapphire. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genera Amazilia and Lepidopyga were polyphyletic.[5] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, Chrysuronia was broadened to include species that had previous been placed in Amazilia, Hylocharis and Lepidopyga.[6][7]

The genus now contains nine species:[6]

Shining-green hummingbird (Chrysuronia goudoti) – formerly in Lepidopyga
Golden-tailed sapphire (Chrysuronia oenone)
Versicolored emerald (Chrysuronia versicolor) – formerly in Amazilia
Sapphire-throated hummingbird (Chrysuronia coeruleogularis) – formerly in Lepidopyga
Sapphire-bellied hummingbird (Chrysuronia lilliae) – formerly in Lepidopyga
Humboldt's sapphire (Chrysuronia humboldtii) – formerly in Hylocharis
Blue-headed sapphire (Chrysuronia grayi) – formerly in Amazilia
White-chested emerald (Chrysuronia brevirostris) – formerly in Amazilia
Plain-bellied emerald (Chrysuronia leucogaster) – formerly in Amazilia
