• (Trochilidae; syn. Florisuga † Black Jacobin F. fusca) "Boie (Isis, 1831, 547) gave four species under his genus Eulampis, as follows: 1. Tr. violaceus Gm., 2. - jugularis Linn., 3. - auratus -, 4. - niger P. Max.  Nos. 1 and 3 are synonyms of No. 2, and as that is already the type of Chrysolampis it leaves Trochilus niger P. Max. as the type of Eulampis Boie." (Riley, 1904, Auk, XXI (IV), p. 486).
