Hummingbirds (Trochilidae)
Gould's Inca (Coeligena inca) - HBW 5, p. 628
French: Inca de Gould
German: Inkaandenkolibri
Spanish: Inca de Gould
Taxonomy: Bourcieria inca Gould, 1852, Coroico, Bolivia.
Relationships uncertain within the complex containing C. wilsoni, C. prunellei, C. torquata and present species; further studies needed. Forms superspecies with C. torquata, with which traditionally considered conspecific; however, probably best considered separate species, on the basis of differences in plumage coloration, together with disjunct distributions. Race omissa doubtfully valid, as the characters distinguished are very weak and not constant. Two subspecies currently recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- omissa Zimmer, 1948 - Andes of SE Peru (Urubamba to Puno).
- inca (Gould, 1852) - Andes of Bolivia (La Paz, Cochabamba).
