Taxonomy There are around 360 described species of hummingbirds that can be further categorized into 9 different clades. The '' Cynanthus'' genus falls under the emerald clade of hummingbirds. The emerald clade formed between 10 and 15 million years ago and has the largest diversity of species.

Cozumel Emerald
The Cozumel emerald (''Cynanthus forficatus'') is a species of hummingbird in the "emeralds", tribe Trochilini of subfamily Trochilinae. It is endemic to the Mexican island of Cozumel off the Yucatán Peninsula. Taxonomy and systematics The Cozumel emerald's taxonomic history is complicated. It was originally described as ''Chlorostilbon forficatus'', then as a subspecies of golden-crowned emerald (now ''Cynanthus auriceps'') which itself has been treated as a subspecies of Canivet's emerald (now ''Cynanthus canivetii''). Other more recent authors include it and many other taxa as subspecies of the blue-tailed emerald (''Chlorostilbon mellisugus'').Arizmendi, M. d. C., C. I. Rodríguez-Flores, C. A.

Islas Marías
The Islas Marías ("Mary Islands") are an archipelago of four islands that belong to Mexico. They are located in the Pacific Ocean, some off the coast of the state of Nayarit and about southeast of the tip of Baja California. They are part of the municipality (''municipio'') of San Blas, Nayarit. The islands were used as a penal colony until February 18, 2019 when President Andrés Manuel López Obrador ordered the closure of its operation as Islas Marías Federal Prison. The first European to discover the islands was Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, a cousin of Hernán Cortés in 1532, who gave them the name Islas Magdalenas. He found no evidence of prior habitation by the Native Americans. In 2010 the archipelago was designated the Islas Marías Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Geography The islands have an aggregate area of and a population of 1,116 on Isla María Madre as of the census of 2005 along with around 8,000 prisoners. The other islands are uninhabited.
