    Based on the published phylogeny, the genus Anas was split into four monophyletic genera with five extant species moved into the resurrected genus Mareca.

The American wigeon

The American wigeon , also called a baldpate, is a species of dabbling duck found in North America. Formerly assigned to ''Anas'', this species is classified with the other wigeons in the dabbling duck genus ''Mareca''. It is the New World counterpart of the Eurasian wigeon. ''Mareca'' is from the Brazilian-Portuguese word ''Marréco'' for a small duck and ''americana'' refers to America.
