St. Domingo Mango (Lampornis aurulentus), John Gould I have adopted the term aurulentus for this fine species because we know positively that it has been applied to the male bird figured on the accompanying Plate, while there is a degree of uncertainty whether margaritaceus has reference to this or some other species. This illustration has been restored to its original vibrancy by enhancing colors and removing unwanted marks. A monograph of the Trochilidæ, or family of humming-birds was published between 1849 and 1887 by English ornithologist John Gould. This monumental work depicts and describes all the known species of hummingbirds at the time - comprising 418 lithographic plates and information on 537 species."
