The origin of these birds was probably related to the appearance of high Andean open supraforest environments in the Northern Andes and the northern Central Andes during the second half of the Tertiary, from the Miocene onward (Simpson, 1986; Hooghiemstra & Cleef, 1995), when major Northern Andean orogenesis took place (Hooghiemstra & Cleef, 19 95) and high-elevation Trochiline hummingbird clades arose (Bleiweiss et al.
