Heliodoxa is a genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae.
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus Heliodoxa was introduced in 1850 by the English ornithologist John Gould.[1] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek hēlios meaning "sun" and doxa meaning "glory" or "magnificence".[2] The type species was subsequently designated by Charles Lucien Bonaparte as the violet-fronted brilliant.[3][4]
The genus contains ten species:[5]
