Saucerottia is a genus of birds in the family Trochilidae, or hummingbirds.

Species

The genus contains ten species:[1]

Azure-crowned hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanocephala
Blue-vented hummingbird, Saucerottia hoffmanni
Berylline hummingbird, Saucerottia beryllina
Blue-tailed hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanura
Snowy-bellied hummingbird, Saucerottia edward
Steely-vented hummingbird, Saucerottia saucerrottei
Indigo-capped hummingbird, Saucerottia cyanifrons
Chestnut-bellied hummingbird, Saucerottia castaneiventris
Green-bellied hummingbird, Saucerottia viridigaster
Copper-rumped hummingbird, Saucerottia tobaci

These species were formerly placed in the genus Amazilia. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Amazilia was polyphyletic.[2] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, these species were placed in the resurrected genus Saucerottia.[1][3]
