The Chinese name for the storm-petrels (including the Oceanitidae) is 海燕 meaning 'sea swallow', written with the same characters as in Japanese. The choice of name was influenced by Japanese. Chinese appears at one stage to have used 海燕 for birds other than the petrels, including the terns and possibly the swiftlets.
Under H&M4, the ornithological standard adopted for this site, the former Hydrobatidae have been split between the Hydrobatidae (Northern Storm-petrels) and the Oceanitidae (Austral Storm-petrels). All species of Hydrobatidae belong to Hydrobates (formerly Oceanodroma), known as 叉尾海燕 'fork-tailed sea swallows' in Chinese.
