		One genus in Australia, formerly included in the Oxyurinae, but with anatomy suggesting a distinct ancient lineage perhaps closest to the Anserinae:
		One genus in Africa, formerly included in the 'perching ducks', but closer to the Tadorninae:
		This group of larger, often semi-terrestrial waterfowl can be seen as intermediate between Anserinae and Anatinae.

		Seaducks commonly found in coastal areas such as the Long-tailed Duck (formerly known in the US as Oldsquaw), scoters, goldeneyes and eiders are also sometimes colloquially referred to in North America as diving ducks because they also feed by diving.
		Subfamily Dendrocygninae: whistling ducks Subfamily Anserinae: geese and swans Subfamily Tadorninae: shelducks, sheldgeese and steamer-ducks Subfamily Merginae: eiders, scoters, sawbills and other sea-ducks.
		Musk Ducks are sometimes shot by hunters but are little prized, not being considered good eating.

	A PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION OF RECENT DABBLING DUCKS (TRIBE ANATINI) BASED ON COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY
		Eldridge (1979) con- cluded that Merganetta is most similar ethol- ogically to Tadorninae.
		These taxonomic revisions were adopted in large part by Johnsgard (1979) in the latest edi- tion of the "Checklist of Birds of the World," although tribes within the Anatinae were omit- ted.
		Behavioral patterns.--Although homologies and polarities of behavioral characters were in- adequately established for inclusion in the phy- logenetic analysis, evolutionary trends in re- productive behavior of Anatini can be documented.

		Taxonomy followed by AOU (1998) is used here, including that proposed by Livezey (1991) for the tribe Anatini, suface-feeding, or dabbling, ducks, with some modifications as indicated within species accounts.
		Subfamiles are Dendrocygninae Whistling-ducks, Anserinae Geese and Swans (including tribes Anserini True Geese and Cygnini Swans), Tadorninae Shelducks, and Anatinae True Ducks (including tribes Anatini Surface-feeding ducks, Aythyini Pochards, Mergini Sea-ducks and Mergansers, and Oxyurini Stiff-tailed ducks).
		This species and the next 3 were considered distinct from the remaining members of Anas based on plumage and structural characters and assigned to the genus Mareca by Livezey (1991).
