Phasianoidea is a superfamily of birds of the order of the Galliformes .
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Description [ edit ]
The superfamily was described in 1825 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors .[1]
Etymology [ edit ]
The name Phasianoidea is formed by the union of the elements of scientific Latin Phasian- and -oidea . The first is the genitive root of the name of its type genus , Phasianus -oidea , neutral plural of -oideus , derived from ancient Greek εἴδος eidos , 'aspect', 'appearance', 'form', with the union vowel -o- , used in the formation of numerous names of orders and superfamilies of animals. Literally: 'those who look like pheasants'.
Families [ edit ]
