Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird
Chrysuronia lilliae (Stone, 1917)
Trochilidae — Hummingbirds
Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird, Chrysuronia lilliae, lives in north-central Colombia, where it is confined to mangroves in Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta and the dry scrub beside them. It is a hummingbird in the family Trochilidae, first described by Stone in 1917. Its most notable feature is its restricted range in South America. The species has also been placed in Lepidopyga and Amazilia, but most current systems use Chrysuronia. It is endemic to Colombia and is known from only this small coastal wetland area.
