A recent phylogenetic survey of the phylogenetic relationships of hummingbirds, based on DNA sequence data from both mitochondrial and nuclear genes, reveals that hummingbirds (Trochilidae) constitute nine major clades, comprising the hermits, mangos, Patagona, topazes, coquettes, brilliants, mountain-gems, bees, and emeralds (McGuire et al. 2007, 2009). Boissonneaua belongs to the brilliant clade, which is dominated by Andean species, and is sister to the genera Ocreatus and Urosticte. Other genera in the brilliant clade are Haplophaedia, Eriocnemis, Aglaeactis, Coeligena, Lafresnaya, Ensifera, Pterophanes, Urochroa, and Heliodoxa (McGuire et al. 2007, 2009). Clytolaema was not included in this survey, but is suspected to belong to the brilliant clade as well (McGuire et al. 2009).
