The blue-tailed emerald is a hummingbird found in tropical and subtropical South America east of the Andes from Colombia east to the Guianas and Trinidad, and south to northern Bolivia and central Brazil.

The taxonomy is highly complex and it often includes ''C. canivetii'', ''C. auriceps'', ''C. forficatus'', ''C. assimilis'', ''C. gibsoni'' and ''C. melanorhynchus'' from north-western South America and Central America as subspecies.
