From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anarhynchus is a genus of
plovers consisting of 24 species.
[2]
Many Anarhynchus species are characterised by partial collars, rather than full breast bands or collars which are characteristic of
Charadrius .
Taxonomy
French naturalists
Jean René Constant Quoy and
Joseph Paul Gaimard
described this genus to accommodate the
Wrybill .
[3]
[4] The name is from
Ancient Greek ana- (ἀνα- , means "backward") and rhunkhos (ῥυγχος , means "bill").
[5] : 46
Anarhynchus was previously considered
monotypic , consisting only of the
wrybill . Studies in 2015 and 2022 confirmed that
Charadrius is
polyphyletic , with some species more closely related to the wrybill rather than the
common ringed plover . In IOC 14.1, 23 species were transferred to this genus.
[2] Anarhynchus now contains the following species:
