Alaemon
Alaemon is a genus of birds in the Alaudidae family. Established by Alexander Keyserling and Johann Heinrich Blasius in 1840, it contains two species:
- Greater hoopoe-lark, Alaemon alaudipes
- Lesser hoopoe-lark, Alaemon hamertoni
The name Alaemon comes from the Greek alēmōn, meaning "wanderer" (from alaomai, meaning "to wander").
