Species Authors and years



These aren't birds found in the Carolinas, but I've exhausted my resources and am hoping someone can help me.  I am trying to find the names of the species authors and the year described for three South American birds:

Clytolaema rubricauda	Brazilian Ruby (Hummingbird)

Heliothryix aurita 	Black-eared Fairy (Hummingbird)

Buteo polysoma		Red-backed Hawk

Also, can anyone point me to a worldwide checklist for birds that would include Latin names, authors and year described?

Thanks!
