''Totanus'' (Bechstein, 1803) is a generic name previously applied to various waders or shorebirds, now subsumed within ''Tringa''. Created by Bechstein, it derives from the species name for the common redshank, described by Linnaeus in 1758 as ''Scolopax totanus'', from “totano”, the Italian name for the bird.〔Higgins, P.J.; & Davies, S.J.J.F.

ISBN 0-19-553070-5 (page 131)〕 Birds once placed in the genus include: * Common redshank (''Totanus totanus''), now ''Tringa totanus'' * Greater yellowlegs (''Totanus melanoleucus''), now ''Tringa melanoleuca'' * Lesser yellowlegs (''Totanus flavipes''), now ''Tringa flavipes'' * Willet (''Totanus semipalmatus''), now ''Tringa semipalmata'' == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Totanus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
