What is another word for Genus Phalaenoptilus?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs fˈaliːnˌɒptɪləs] (IPA) 
Genus Phalaenoptilus is a genus of birds that includes species like the common poorwill and the buff-collared nightjar. Synonyms for the genus include Caprimulgus, Chordeiles, and Siphonorhis. These synonyms are no longer in use, as taxonomists have reclassified the species into their own distinct genus. The common poorwill is a small, nocturnal bird that is known for its ability to enter a state of torpor, where its metabolic rate drops and it can conserve energy. The buff-collared nightjar is a medium-sized bird that is found in Central and South America. Both species are known for their distinctive calls and their ability to blend into their surroundings.
