Nesophlox

Nesophlox is a genus in the family of Hummingbirds. It consists of two endemic hummingbirds of the Bahamas.

The genus contains two species:

These species were formerly placed in the genus Calliphlox. Molecular phylogenetic studies published in 2014 and 2017 found that the genus Calliphlox was polyphyletic. In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, the Bahama woodstar and the Inagua woodstar were moved to the resurrected genus Nesophlox that had been introduced by Robert Ridgway in 1910.
