Description


The mangos, Anthracothorax, are a non-migratory genus of hummingbirds in the subfamily Trochilinae native to the Neotropics.

A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Anthracothorax was paraphyletic with respect to Eulampis.

Species: The genus contains eight species:
