Hummingbirds (Trochilidae)
Green-and-white Hummingbird (Leucippus viridicauda) - HBW 5, p. 593
French: Ariane du Pérou
German: Grünweißamazilie
Spanish: Colibrí Blanquiverde
Taxonomy: Leucippus viridicauda Berlepsch, 1883, Huyro, 4800 feet [c. 1470 m], Peru.
Often placed in genus Amazilia, but separation from Leucippus cannot be maintained, for reasons of morphology, behaviour and biogeography. In past, alternatively placed in genus Chionogaster, along with L. chionogaster; sympatric with that species in Urubamba Valley (C Peru), but hybridization not yet demonstrated. Monotypic.
Distribution: E slope of Andes in C Peru.
