The generic nomenclature of the hummingbirds is unusually complicated. McGuire et al.'s (2014) recent phylogeny of the Trochilidae based on DNA sequence data has greatly clarified relationships within the family but conflicts strongly with the traditional classification of the family at the genus level, especially that of the largest and most recently derived clade, the Trochilini or "emeralds". We recently presented a historical review of this classification and the generic modifications required by the Code of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Herein we present a revised generic classification of the Trochilini based upon McGuire et al.'s genetic data, while producing diagnosable generic groupings and preserving nomenclatural stability insofar as possible. However, this generic rearrangement has necessitated the resurrection of nine generic names currently considered synonyms, the synonymization of seven currently recognized genera and the creation of one new genus. The generic changes we recommend to the classification are drastic, and we summarize these in tabular form in comparison with the three most recent classifications of the Trochilini. Where appropriate, we outline alternatives to our proposed arrangement. The classification treats 110 species in 35 genera, including two species that remain unplaced for lack of genetic samples.
蜂鸟的通用命名法异常复杂。麦圭尔等人（2014年）最近基于DNA序列数据对蜂鸟科进行的系统发育研究极大地厘清了该科内部的关系，但在属级水平上与该科的传统分类存在强烈冲突，尤其是最大且最新演化出来的分支翠蜂鸟族（Trochilini）或“翠蜂鸟”的分类。我们最近对这一分类以及国际动物命名委员会法规所要求的属级修改进行了历史回顾。在此，我们基于麦圭尔等人的基因数据提出了翠蜂鸟族的修订属级分类，同时尽可能产生可诊断的属级分组并保持命名稳定性。然而，这种属级重排使得九个目前被视为同义词的属名得以复活，七个目前公认的属被同义化，并创建了一个新属。我们建议对分类进行的属级更改幅度很大，我们将这些更改与翠蜂鸟族最近的三种分类进行对比，以表格形式进行总结。在适当的地方，我们概述了替代我们提议安排的方案。该分类涵盖35个属中的110个物种，包括因缺乏基因样本而尚未归类的两个物种。
