 Spheniscus
Spheniscus penguins must have evolved from a common ancestor fairly recently as indicated by the close morphological similarity amongst these species.
All Spheniscus penguins are allopatric (ie having separate distributions), however, so that most birds can be safely identified by their location.
While Spheniscus penguins breed in much warmer climates than other penguins, their breeding areas are associated with cold, nutrient-rich currents.

The ingroup topology was ((Eudyptula + Spheniscus) (Aptenodytes (Pygoscelis (Megadyptes + Eudyptes)))).
Spheniscus was the genus with highest overall support together with Eudyptes.
At any rate, the support values of the intrageneric relationships in Spheniscus are the weakest within the ingroup subtree, preventing a firm interpretation of either groupings or area relationships.

The jackass penguin (Spheniscus demersus) throws its head back and gives a loud jackass-like braying call; and the king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) stretches its neck skyward and sings a duet of long calls with its partner.
The little penguin, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboltdi), and the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) dig nesting burrows underground up to 1 m (3 ft) in length, but they will also nest under bushes or in caves and crevices among rocks.
The king and emperor penguins do not build nests; instead a bird incubates the egg by resting it on top of the feet, covering it with the lower part of the belly.
