These three species were formerly placed in the genus Campylopterus . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Campylopterus was polyphyletic. [2] In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, these species were moved to the resurrected genus Pampa that had been introduced in 1854 by Ludwig Reichenbach. [1] [3]
