Genus Phaethornis
Pale-bellied Hermit - It is found in Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest.
Black-throated hermit - It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest.
Sooty-capped Hermit - The binomial commemorates the French entomologist Auguste Sallé.
Straight-billed Hermit - It is found in the Guyanas of Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana; also the northern Amazon Basin of Brazil, and Amazonian Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru; it is in eastern Venezuela and the Orinoco River Basin. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Scale-throated Hermit - The Scale-throated Hermit is a species in the hummingbird family, Trochilidae.
Green Hermit - It is 5.3 in long and weighs 0.22 oz . The male Green Hermit is mainly dark green with a blue-green rump. It has a dark mask through the eye, with buff stripes above and below this, and down the centre of the throat. The central feathers of the tapered tail are long and white-tipped, and are wiggled in display at the communal leks. The reddish bill is long and decurved. The female is duller and sootier grey below, with an even longer bill and tail. The call of this species is a loud zurk, and the males' lekking "song" is a repeated swark.
White-bearded Hermit - It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical swamps.
Minute Hermit - The Minute Hermit is a tiny species of hummingbird in the Trochilidae family. It is endemic to humid Atlantic Forest in south-eastern Brazil, ranging from Rio de Janeiro north to south-eastern Bahia.
Koepcke's Hermit - The Koepcke's Hermit, Ermite De Koepcke, or ErmitaÑO De Koepcke is a species of hummingbird in the Trochilidae family. It is found only in Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Long-billed Hermit - The taxonomy of this group is complicated, with similar hermit populations from both sides of the Andes being originally named as one species, the Long-tailed Hermit, P. superciliosus. The latter name in now reserved for the species east of the cordillera.
Little Hermit - Previously, several other small hermits were considered subspecies of this species. These are the Stripe-throated Hermit of Central America and NW South America, the Minute Hermit of SE Brazil and the Black-throated Hermit of W. Amazonia in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. As presently defined, the Little Hermit is monotypic.
Great-billed Hermit - The taxonomy of this species and the Long-tailed Hermit is confusing. Most taxa previously consider subspecies of the latter are now considered subspecies of the former. A satisfactory taxonomic treatment of the entire P. longirostris/P. superciliosus/P. malaris group is still lacking according to some Neotropical ornithologists. Additionally, the taxon margarettae of the Atlantic forest of eastern Brazil is sometimes considered a separate species: Margaretta's Hermit .
Cinnamon-throated Hermit - The Cinnamon-throated Hermit is a species in the hummingbird family, Trochilidae. It is found in a broad dry to semi-humid belt along the southern edge of the Amazon Rainforest from far north-eastern Bolivia north-east to Maranhão in Brazil. Its natural habitat is tropical dry to semi-humid forest, Cerrado and woodland. With its wide range, it is considered a Species of Least Concern by the IUCN.
Needle-billed Hermit - The Needle-Billed Hermit is a species of hummingbird in the Trochilidae family. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Planalto Hermit - It is usually easily recognized by its relatively large size, broad white tips to all the rectrices, and cinnamon-buff underparts and rump – the latter contrasing clearly with its tail and remaining upperparts.
Reddish Hermit - The majority of the Reddish Hermit's range, in northern and central South America, is the entire Amazon Basin to the foothill drainages of the eastern Andes slope. The Caribbean and Atlantic coasts of the entire Guianas are included in the northeast; in the southeast, the southeastern limit is the eastern banks of the Tocantins River in the Araguaia-Tocantins River system, usually included as part of the Amazon Basin. The countries included in the bird's range in the western Amazon Basin drainage are Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
Streak-throated Hermit - It is a small hermit with a total length of approximately 9 cm, both subspecies have very pale buff-grey underparts and dark streaks on the throat.
Dusky-throated Hermit - The Dusky-throated Hermit is a species of hummingbird in the Trochilidae family. It is endemic to humid Atlantic Forest in south-eastern Brazil. It formerly included the Streak-throated Hermit as a subspecies. A small hermit with a total length of approximately 9 cm, it has pale buff underparts and dark streaks on the throat.
Stripe-throated Hermit - With a total length of 3½-4 in and a weight of 2-3 g, it is among the smaller species of hermits. The wing-coverts, mantle, nape and crown are dull iridescent green, the rump is pale rufous, the belly and flanks are buff, and the central underparts and throat are pale greyish-brown; the latter with small dark streaks that often are faint and difficult to see. The face has a blackish "bandit-mask" border above by a whitish-buff supercilium and below by whitish-buff malar. The flight-feathers and tail are blackish; the latter tipped whitish to ochraceous depending on the subspecies involved. As in most other hermits, it has a long, decurved bill. The basal half of the lower mandible is yellow, but otherwise the entire bill is black.
Long-tailed Hermit - The taxonomic history of this group is complicated, with similar hermit populations from both sides of the Andes being originally classed as a single Long-tailed Hermit species. The western population was then split as the Western Long-tailed Hermit, P. longirostris, leading to the renaming of P. superciliosus as Eastern Long-tailed Hermit. The further renaming of P. longirostris as Long-billed Hermit means that P. superciliosus no longer needs “eastern” in its English name.
White-whiskered Hermit - The White-whiskered Hermit, Phaethornis yaruqui, is a hummingbird that is found in Colombia and Ecuador.
