Excelente la foto!!! - Si, John Gould la nombró LARUS fuliginosos en el 1841, probablemente en base de un especimen recibido de Darwin. Pero luego decidieron que es suficientemente diferente de los otros Larus para justificar un genero separado. - Mas significativo es el hecho que esto es la gavioto mas rara del mundo. Piensan que no hay mas de 400 individuos. - Talvez es una de las pocas especies que aprovecha de la presencia del hombre.
