General names

Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Species list may not be current. Comments and corrections welcome.

The Japanese name for the sand grouse is サケイ sa-kei, written 沙鶏 or 砂鶏, ('sand fowl'). Etymologically, this is directly related to the Chinese term. Only Syrrhaptes paradoxus is found in Japan, and then only as a vagrant.
