Ocreatus is a genus of hummingbird that was long considered to have only one species—the booted racket-tail—but has now four species. Field research by Karl-L. Schuchmann published in 2016 determined delimitations between the three taxa (anae, addae and peruanus) and O. underwoodii.[1] The research results have been mostly accepted by the IOC, with more data required for the species status of Anna's racket-tail.[2]
