2, see text The caribs are a genus, Eulampis, of hummingbirds in the family Trochilidae.

[2] Unlike most of the related species of Trochilinae hummingbirds, the caribs lack strong sexual dimorphism, meaning the males and females are the very similar in appearance.

[4][5] The genus Eulampis was introduced in 1831 by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie.

[7][8] The genus name is from the Ancient Greek eulampēs meaning "bright" or "shining".

[9] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Eulambis was embedded in the genus Anthracothorax.
