Eudyptes (from Ancient Greek εὖ (eû), meaning "true, well", and δύπτης (dúptes), meaning "diver", and thus, "true diver") is a genus of penguins whose members are collectively called crested penguins. The exact number of species in the genus varies between four and eight depending on the authority, and a Chatham Islands species became extinct in recent centuries.
