Hartlaub's gull (Chroicocephalus hartlaubii), also known as the king gull, it is a small gull. It was formerly sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the silver gull (C. novaehollandiae), and, as is the case with many gulls, it has traditionally been placed in the genus Larus but is now placed in the genus Chroicocephalus. The species' name commemorates the German physician and zoologist, Gustav Hartlaub.[1]
