mollymawk
The mollymawks are a group of medium sized albatrosses that form the genus ''Thalassarche''. The name has sometimes been used for the genus ''Phoebetria'' as well, but these are usually called sooty albatrosses. They are restricted to the Southern Hemisphere, where they are the most common of the albatrosses. They were long considered to be in the same genus as the great albatrosses, ''Diomedea'', but a study of their mitochondrial DNA showed that they are a monophyletic taxon related to the sooty albatrosses, and they were placed in their own genus.〔
==Etymology==
The word ''mollymawk'', which dates to the late 17th century, comes from the Dutch ''mallemok'', which means ''mal'' – foolish and ''mok'' – gull.〔
