The Chinese ornithological name for the storm-petrel or stormy petrels is 海燕 meaning 'sea swallow'. The name is used under Japanese influence. At an earlier stage Chinese appears to have used 海燕 ornithologically 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.
