Lampornithini is one of the three

Trochilidae. The other two tribes in the subfamily are Mellisugini (bees) and Trochilini
(emeralds).

The informal name "mountain gems" has been proposed for this group. The largest genus

Lampornis contains eight species with "mountaingem" in their common name.[1] The tribe contains 18 species divided into 7 genera.[2][3]

Phylogeny

A

Lampornis was introduced by William Jardine in 1833.[7] The name Lampornithinae was used by Charles Bonaparte in 1842.[8]

Molecular phylogenetic studies by Jimmy McGuire and collaborators published between 2007 and 2014 determined the relationships between the major groups of hummingbirds.[2][4][6] In the cladogram below the English names are those introduced in 1997.[9] The Latin names are those proposed by Dickinson and Remsen in 2013.[10]

Trochilidae

Florisuginae – topazes

Phaethornithinae
– hermits

Polytminae – mangoes

Lesbiinae

Heliantheini – brilliants

Lesbiini – coquettes

Patagoninae – giant hummingbird

Trochilinae

Lampornithini – mountain gems

Mellisugini – bees

Trochilini – emeralds

The cladogram below shows the relationships between the genera in the tribe Lampornithini. It is based on the molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014. The genera

Hylonympha were not sampled.[2]
