Goldmania is a genus in the family of Hummingbirds, and consists of 2 species.

Species[]

The two species are:[1]

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]
