Genus: Charadrius
Description
Taxonomy
Charadrius is a genus in the family Charadriidae.
Eudromias vs. Charadrius
One authority (Sibley & Monroe, 1996) places Eurasian Dotterel (morinellus) in the monotypic genus Eudromias. However, most others place it within Charadrius and the Opus follows in this consensus.
