Genus: Charadrius

[edit] Description

[edit] Taxonomy

Charadrius is a genus in the family Charadriidae.

[edit] Eudromias vs. Charadrius

Some authorities (Sibley & Monroe, 1996) place Eurasian Dotterel (morinellus) in the monotypic genus Eudromias. However, Clements (2007) and Howard & Moore (2003) place it within Charadrius and the Opus follows in this consensus.
