The white-tailed emerald and the coppery-headed emerald were formerly placed in the genus ''Elvira''. A [[molecular phylogenetic]] study published in 2014 found that these two species were closely related to the [[snowcap]] in the genus ''Microchera''.<ref>{{ cite journal | last1=McGuire | first1=J. | last2=Witt | first2=C. | last3=Remsen | first3=J.V. | last4=Corl | first4=A. | last5=Rabosky | first5=D. | last6=Altshuler | first6=D. | last7=Dudley | first7=R. | date=2014 | title=Molecular phylogenetics and the diversification of hummingbirds | journal=Current Biology | volume=24 | issue=8 | pages=910–916 | doi=10.1016/j.cub.2014.03.016 | pmid=24704078 | doi-access=free | bibcode=2014CBio...24..910M }}</ref> The three species were therefore placed together in ''Microchera'' which has priority.<ref name=ioc/><br />
