One of the most difficult things to be done is a list of species, because there are a lot of divergence among the students when we are about valid specie or subspecie. The scientific parameters in this way are a lot discussible.
    But, based on the books that are shown, we have the following list of Brazil’s hummingbirds.
    Evidently we don’t have the pretension that this is the most correct and final list.
