- Zapterus
(Charadriidae; syn. Vanellus † White-tailed Plover V. leucurus) Gr. ζα- za- very, strong; πτερος pteros winged < πτερον pteron wing; "Euhyas Sharpe is untenable because of Euhyas Fitzinger, proposed for a genus of reptiles. In its stead may be employed Zapterus, from ζα, valde, and πτερον, ala. The type and only species is Charadrius leucurus Lichtenstein, which will now stand as Zapterus leucurus (Lichtenstein)." (Oberholser 1899); "Zapterus Oberholser, 1899, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, p. 201. New name for Euhyas Sharpe, 1896, not of Fitzinger, 1842 (Reptilia)." (JAJ 2020).
