Eupherusa is a genus of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae. It contains the following five species:[1]
| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Eupherusa ridgwayi | Mexican woodnymph | west Mexico |
 |
Eupherusa cyanophrys | Oaxaca hummingbird | Sierra Madre del Sur in the Mexican state of Oaxaca |
 |
Eupherusa eximia | Stripe-tailed hummingbird | southeastern Mexico to Panama. |

Eupherusa nigriventris | Black-bellied hummingbird | Costa Rica and Panama |
| Eupherusa poliocerca | White-tailed hummingbird | Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero and extreme western Oaxaca, Mexico |
The Mexican woodnymph was formerly placed in the genus Thalurania with other species with "woodnymph" in their English names. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Thalurania was non-monophyletic and that the Mexican woodnymph is closely related to species in Eupherusa.[2] Based on this result the Mexican woodnymph is now placed in Eupherusa.[1]
