Subspecies
Genus often merged into Archilochus, and both have sometimes been subsumed into Selasphorus. However, in morphology, vocalizations and displays, members of present genus stand apart from the Selasphorus-Archilochus assemblage. Alternatively, present genus sometimes merged into Mellisuga. Closely related to Costa's Hummingbird (Calypte costae), with which has hybridized. Also hybridizes with Blue-throated Hummingbird (Lampornis clemenciae). "Selasphorus floresii" usually reckoned to be hybrid of present species with Allen's Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin). "Trochilus violajugulum" probably hybrid with Black-chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri).

No subspecies.
