Electron is a genus of the motmots, a family of Neotropical near passerine birds. The motmots or Momotidae are a family of tropical Birds in the Near passerine order Coraciiformes, which also includes the In Biological classification, family ( Latin In Biogeography, Neotropic or Neotropical refers to one of the world's eight terrestrial Ecozones This ecozone includes South and Central America the Near passerine or higher land-bird assemblage are terms often given to Arboreal Birds or those most often believed to be related to the true Passerines Birds ( class Aves) are bipedal endothermic ( Warm-blooded) Vertebrate animals that lay eggs. The genus has two species:
- Keel-billed Motmot, Electron carinatum
- Broad-billed Motmot, Electron platyrhynchum
Both inhabit humid evergreen tropical forest. UserPolbot. -->The Keel-billed Motmot ( Electron carinatum) is a species of Bird in the Momotidae family UserPolbot. -->The Broad-billed Motmot ( Electron platyrhynchum) is a species of Bird in the Momotidae Both occur in Central America, and the Broad-billed Motmot occurs in a large region of South America as well. South America is a Continent of the Americas, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a
They are distinguished from other motmots by their much wider bills. The rackets on their tails are less dramatic than those of many other motmot species and may be absent. The species are very similar except in adult plumage (but the adult Keel-billed resembles the juvenile Broad-billed). A mixed pair apparently courting has been observed (Howell and Webb 1995).
The name Electron is a Latinization of the Ancient Greek word for amber, and can mean "bright" in scientific names (Jaeger 1978); the amber-colored eyes of the Keel-billed Motmot (Howell and Webb 1995) may be the connection.
