Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Charadriiformes > Scolopacidae > Arenaria > Arenaria interpresArenaria interpres (Ruddy Turnstone)Synonyms: Strepsilas interpres; Tringa interpres (homotypic) Language: French; Spanish The ruddy turnstone (Arenaria interpres) is a small wading bird, one of two species of turnstone in the genus Arenaria. The scientific name is from Latin. The genus name arenaria derives from arenarius, "inhabiting sand, from arena, "sand". The specific interpres means "messenger"; when visiting Gotland in 1741, Linnaeus thought that the Swedish word Tolk "interpreter" applied to this species, but in the local dialect the word means "legs" and is used for the redshank. |
