Pampa is a genus of birds in the hummingbird family Trochilidae. These species are resident in northern Middle America.
The genus contains three species. [1]
Common name | Scientific name and subspecies | Range | Size and ecology | IUCN status and estimated population |

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.
