Quetzals are in the Trogonidae family and include several species. Most are in the genus Pharomachrus but one species is in the genus Euptilotis. A binomial name includes the genus and the species. Since a quetzal can be any of six species, a single binomial name is not possible. The binomial names for the six species (including the common name in parentheses) are Pharomachrus antisianus (Crested quetzal), Pharomachrus auriceps (Golden-headed Quetzal), Pharomachrus fuldigus(White-tipped Quetzal), Pharomachrus moccino (Resplendent Quetzal), Pharomachrus pavoninus (Pavonine Quetzal), and Euptilotis neoxenus (Eared Quetzal.)
