Taxonomy
The genus Fregetta was introduced in 1855 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte. He specified the type species as Thalasssidroma leucogaster which is now considered as a subspecies of the white-bellied storm petrel.[1][2]
The genus contains four species:[3]
- White-bellied storm petrel, Fregetta grallaria
- Black-bellied storm petrel, Fregetta tropica
- New Zealand storm petrel, Fregetta maoriana – formerly placed in Oceanites
- New Caledonian storm petrel, Fregetta lineata – revived as a distinct species in 2022[4]
