The genus contains three species: }} These species were early placed in the genus
Amazilia. A
molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus
Amazilia was
polyphyletic. In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, these Mexican species were placed in the resurrected genus
Leucolia by some taxonomic systems. However, a study published in 2021 showed that
Leucolia was not available because of the
principle of priority. The authors proposed the new genus
Ramosomyia and in mid-2022 it was adopted by the North American Classification Committee of the
American Ornithological Society and the
International Ornithological Committee. ==References==
