Lagopus


''Lagopus'' is a small genus of birds in the grouse subfamily, commonly known as ptarmigans. The genus contains three living species with numerous described subspecies, all living in tundra or cold upland areas.
==Etymology==
The genus name ''Lagopus'' is derived from Ancient Greek , meaning "hare", + , "foot", in reference to the feathered feet and toes typical of this cold-adapted group (such as the snowshoe hare). The specific epithets ''muta'' and ''leucura'' were for a long time misspelt ''mutus'' and ''leucurus'', in the erroneous belief that the ending of ''Lagopus'' denotes masculine gender. However, as the Ancient Greek term is of feminine gender, and the specific epithet has to agree with that, the feminine ''muta'' and ''leucura'' are correct.〔David & Gosselin (2002)〕
The English-language name ''ptarmigan'' is derived from the Scottish Gaelic '.
