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]
- Curve-winged sabrewing, Pampa curvipennis
- Wedge-tailed sabrewing, Pampa pampa
- Long-tailed sabrewing, Pampa excellens
- Rufous sabrewing, Pampa rufa
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]
