Pachyptila
''Pachyptila'' is a genus of seabirds in the family Procellariidae and the order Procellariiformes. The members of this genus and the blue petrel form a sub-group called prions. They range throughout the southern hemisphere, often in the much cooler higher latitudes. Three species, the Broad-billed Prion (''Pachyptila vittata''), the Antarctic Prion (''Pachyptila desolata'') and the Fairy Prion (''Pachyptila turtur''), range into the subtropics. ==Etymology== The name ''Pachyptila'' derives from the Greek words (', "thick" or "stout") and (', "feather"). Also from the Greek language, ''prion'' comes from the word (', "saw"), in reference to the serrated edges of its bill.〔Gotch, A. T. (1995)〕
