==Taxonomy==
The genus ''Oenanthe'' was introduced by the French ornithologist [[Louis Pierre Vieillot]] in 1816 with ''Oenanthe leucura'', the [[black wheatear]], as the [[type species]].<ref>{{ cite book | editor1-last=Mayr | editor1-first=Ernst | editor1-link=Ernst Mayr | editor2-last=Paynter | editor2-first=Raymond A.

The [[common name|name]] "wheatear" is not derived from "[[wheat]]" or any sense of "[[ear]]", but is a [[folk etymology]] of "white" and "[[Buttocks|arse]]", referring to the prominent white rump found in most species.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wheatear |url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wheatear |publisher=Merriam Webster Online |access-date=13 May 2010}}</ref>
