The grey-backed storm petrel (Garrodia nereis) is a species of seabird in the Hydrobatidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Garrodia.[2] It is found in Antarctica, Argentina, Australia, Chile, Falkland Islands, French Southern Territories, New Zealand, Saint Helena, South Africa, and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Its natural habitat is open seas.[1]
The genus Garrodia was created by William Alexander Forbes in 1881[2] and named after English zoologist Alfred Henry Garrod,[3] while the specific descriptor is an allusion to the Nereids, the sea nymphs of Greek mythology.[4]
