Pampa is a genus of birds in the hummingbird family Trochilidae. These species are resident in northern Middle America.

Species[]

The genus contains four species.[1]

These four species were formerly placed in the genus Campylopterus. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Campylopterus was polyphyletic.[2] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, these species were moved to the resurrected genus Pampa that had been introduced in 1854 by Ludwig Reichenbach.[1][3]
