Taxonomy
The genus Chlorostilbon was introduced in 1853 by the English ornithologist John Gould to accommodate a single species to which Gould gave the binomial name Chlorostilbon prasinus. This taxon is now considered as a subspecies of the glittering-bellied emerald Chlorostilbon lucidus pucherani.
