Calypte is a genus of hummingbirds. It consists of two species found in western North America.

Taxonomy

The genus Calypte was introduced in 1856 by the English ornithologist John Gould.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as Costa's hummingbird.[2] Gould did not explain the derivation of the genus name but it is probably from the Ancient Greek kaluptrē meaning "woman’s veil" or "head-dress" (from kaluptō meaning "to cover").[3] The genus now contains two species.[4]
