Scientific classification Edit this classification

Domain:

Eukaryota

Kingdom:

Animalia

Phylum:

Chordata

Class:

Aves

Order:

Charadriiformes

Family:

Laridae

Genus:

Chlidonias
Rafinesque, 1822

Type species

Sterna melanops[1]

Rafinesque, 1822

Species

  • Chlidonias niger
  • Chlidonias leucopterus
  • Chlidonias hybrida
  • Chlidonias albostriatus
  • The name marsh tern refers to terns of the genus Chlidonias, which are typically found in freshwater marshes, rather than coastal locations. The genus name Chlidonias is from Ancient Greek khelidonios, "swallow-like", from khelidon, "swallow".[2]

    Species[edit]

    There are four species:

    Common Name

    Scientific name

    Distribution

    Black tern

    Chlidonias niger (ornigra)

    Europe, Western Asia and North America.

    White-winged tern or white-winged black tern

    Chlidonias leucopterus (orleucoptera)

    Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

    Whiskered tern

    Chlidonias hybrida (orhybridus)

    Europe and the Palearctic (northwestern Africa and central and southern Europe to southeastern Siberia, eastern China and south to Pakistan and northern India)

    Black-fronted tern

    Chlidonias albostriatus (formerly Sterna albostriata)[3]

    New Zealand

    Notice the hesitation in the gender of the epithet of the scientific names, as they are usually masculine (albostriatus, leucopterusorniger), but in the case of the whiskered tern is mostly used as feminine (hybrida), maybe from the influence of the previous gender used, Sterna.

    The black-bellied tern (Sterna acuticauda) and the white-cheeked tern (Sterna repressa) might also be placed in Chlidonias.
