List of hummingbird species

The International Ornithological Congress (IOC) recognizes these 360 hummingbird species in family Trochilidae, and distributes them among 106 genera.[1] Two extinct species known only from 19th century specimens are included. This list is presented in IOC taxonomic sequence and is also sortable alphabetically by common name, binomial name, and phylogentic grouping.

The division of the large hummingbird family into its two subfamilies is apparent from the taxonomic sequence:

• Subfamily Phaethornithinae, the "hermit hummingbirds", which contains the first 37 species of genera Ramphodon, Eutoxeres, Glaucis, Threnetes, Anopetia, and Phaethornis.
• Subfamily Trochilinae, the "typical hummingbirds", which contains the rest. A 2014 paper further subdivided this group into eight clades.[2] Because hummingbird taxonomy is under continuous revision, its assignments do not fully coincide with the IOC sequence and more recently identified species are not assigned.
