Philodice is a genus of hummingbirds in the tribe Mellisugini and family Trochilidae.
Taxonomy
The genus Philodice was introduced in 1866 by the French ornithologists Étienne Mulsant, Jules Verreaux and Édouard Verreaux to accommodate a single species, the purple-throated woodstar, which is therefore the type species.{{ cite journal | last1=Mulsant | first1=M.E. | author1-link=Étienne Mulsant | last2=Verreaux | first2=J. | author2-link=Jules Verreaux | last3=Verreaux | first3=E. | author3-link=Édouard Verreaux | date=1866 | title=Essai d'une classification méthodique des Trochilidés | journal=Mémoires de la Société impériale des sciences naturelles de Cherbourg | volume=12 | pages=149–242 [230] | url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/48482346 }}{{ cite book | editor-last=Peters | editor-first=James Lee | editor-link=James L.

The genus now contains two species that were formerly assigned to Calliphlox. They were placed in the resurrected genus Philodice based on a molecular phylogenetic study that was published in 2017.{{Cite journal | last1=Licona-Vera | first1=Yuyini | last2=Ornelas | first2=Juan Francisco | date=2017 | title=The conquering of North America: dated phylogenetic and biogeographic inference of migratory behavior in bee hummingbirds | journal=BMC Evolutionary Biology | volume=17 | issue=1 | pages=126 | doi=10.1186/s12862-017-0980-5 | pmid=28583078 | pmc=5460336 | doi-access=free| bibcode=2017BMCEE..17..126L }}{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | editor3-last=Rasmussen | editor3-first=Pamela | editor3-link=Pamela Rasmussen | date=August 2022 | title=Hummingbirds | work=IOC World Bird List Version 12.2 | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/hummingbirds/ | publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=16 September 2022 }}
