Goldmania is a genus in the family of Hummingbirds, and consists of 2 species.
Species[edit]
The two species are:[1]
- Violet-capped hummingbird, Goldmania violiceps
- Pirre hummingbird, Goldmania bella
The Pirre hummingbird was formerly placed in the monospecific genus Goethalsia. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the Pirre hummingbird was closely related to the violet-capped hummingbird in the genus Goldmania.[2] The two species were therefore placed together in Goldmania which has priority.[1]
