The south Moluccan sunbird (Cinnyris clementiae) is a species of bird in the sunbird family Nectariniidae that found on some of the Maluku Islands, between Sulawesi and New Guinea in Indonesia.

He coined the binomial name Cinnyris clementiae, choosing the specific epithet to honour his second wife, the artist and illustrator, Clémence Dumont. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the olive-backed sunbird (renamed as the garden sunbird) (Cinnyris jugularis) but is now treated as a separate species based on the difference in plumage. Three subspecies are recognised: C. c. buruensis Hartert, EJO, 1910 – Buru (central west Maluku Islands) C. c. clementiae Lesson, RP, 1827 – Boana (northwest of Seram), Ambon, Seram (central east Maluku Islands) and the Watubela archipelago (south Maluku Islands) C. c. keiensis Stresemann, 1913 – Kai Islands (southeast Maluku Islands) == Description == The south Moluccan sunbird is 10–11.4 cm (3.9–4.5 in) in length. The male weighs 6.7–11.9 g…
