Linnaeus described it in 1758, and it was moved to the genus Spatula after a 2009 molecular study (Wikipedia, general species account). The species is a small dabbling duck. It breeds in much of Europe and across the Palearctic. This species received its first scientific description by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
