Alcidae
Alcidae (a Protogermanico *alkǭ 'avis maritima') sunt familia avium ordinis Charadriiformium, quae genera Uriam, Cepphum, Aethiatis, Fraterculam, Brachyramphum comprehendit.
Praeter Pinguinum impennem, omnes alcidae "volare" tam bene in aqua quam in aere insigniter possunt. Egregie natant et urinantur, sed ambulantes inscitae videntur.
Nonnullis speciebus sunt varia nomina vulgaria in Europa et America Septentrionali: Uria et Cepphus, Anglice guillemots in Europa, sed murres in America Septentrionali, et Alle ('little auk') dovekie appellatur.
