Related Species
Described as Ornismya Helenae by Delattre (1843), with a type locality of Vera Paz, Guatemala.
There are 10 species in the genus Lophornis, but relationships within Lophornis have not been resolved. The presumed sister species to helenae is Lophornis adorabilis (White-crested Coquette); these two species formerly were classified in a separate genus, Paphosia, for which helenae is the type species (Peters 1945).
Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data (from both nuclear and mitochondrial genes) indicates that there are nine clades of hummingbirds. Lophornis belongs to the Lophorini clade, within which Lophornis is sister to genus Discosura (thorntails) (McGuire et al. 2007, 2009).
