- Paroxyechus
(Charadriidae; syn. Charadrius † Long-billed Plover C. placidus) Gr. παρ par near; genus Oxyechus Reichenbach, 1853, plover; "I have already said that A. placida would be better placed in Oxyechus, but here again it would be better to signalise the differences by means of a subgeneric name. I therefore introduce PAROXYECHUS with A. placida Gray as type. The names would be— Oxyechus vociferus. —— (Paroxyechus) placidus." (Mathews 1913); "Paroxyechus Mathews, 1913, Birds Australia, III (2), p. 114. Type, by original designation, A. placida Gray, i.e. Charadrius placidus J. and G. Gray, 1863." (JAJ 2021).
