Genus: Saundersilarus

Description

This genus, if recognized, would only include Saunders's Gull.

Taxonomy

Saundersilarus is a monotypic genus in the Family Laridae. It is recognized by e.g., BOU, but not (yet?) by the major world-wide checklists; these place this gull in genus Larus or Chroicocephalus.
