Cinnamon Hummingbird (Amazilia rutila) - HBW 5, p. 596
French: Ariane cannelle
German: Zimtbauchamazilie
Spanish: Amazilia Canela
Taxonomy: Ornismya rutila DeLattre, 1843, Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico.
Forms a superspecies with A. yucatanensis, but not, as sometimes suggested, with A. tzacatl and A. alticola, given extensive sympatry with former. Formerly listed as A. cinnamomea, but this name was unavailable. Race graysoni has sometimes been considered a separate species. Validity of race diluta has been doubted because of intergradation towards nominate birds. Name saturata is synonym of corallirostris. “A. bangsi”, known from a single Costa Rican specimen, is hybrid of present species and A. tzacatl. Populations fr.. View all taxonomy...
Forms a superspecies with A. yucatanensis, but not, as sometimes suggested, with A. tzacatl and A. alticola, given extensive sympatry with former. Formerly listed as A. cinnamomea, but this name was unavailable. Race graysoni has sometimes been considered a separate species. Validity of race diluta has been doubted because of intergradation towards nominate birds. Name saturata is synonym of corallirostris. “A. bangsi”, known from a single Costa Rican specimen, is hybrid of present species and A. tzacatl. Populations from Yucatán, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, formerly attributed to nominate, are more appropriately placed in corallirostris on basis of morphology and biogeography. Four subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- diluta van Rossem, 1938 - NW Mexico (Sinaloa, Nayarit).
- graysoni Lawrence, 1867 - Is Tres Marías (off W Mexico).
- rutila (Lesson, 1842) - W & SW Mexico (Jalisco to Oaxaca).
- corallirostris (Bourcier & Mulsant, 1846) - S & SE Mexico (from Chiapas and Yucatán) to Costa Rica.
