The mangos, Anthracothorax, are a non-migratory genus of hummingbirds in the subfamily Trochilinae native to the Neotropics.
The genus Anthracothorax was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1831.{{ cite journal | last=Boie | first=Friedrich | author-link=Friedrich Boie | year=1831 | title=Bemerkungen über Species und einige ornithologische Familien und Sippen | journal=Isis von Oken | language=German | volume=24 | at=Cols 538–548 [545]| url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/27512960 }} The type species was subsequently designated as the green-throated mango (Anthracothorax viridigula).{{ cite book | editor-last=Peters | editor-first=James Lee | editor-link=James L.
