This family consists of one genus and four species: the Peruvian petrel Pelecanoides garnoti , the Lesser Magellanic petrel P. georgicus , the Magellanic petrel P. magellani , and the (carrion) petrel P. urinator . Total length is 15-25cm. The feathers are black on the back and white underneath. They live mainly in the cold waters of the subantarctic, but one species is found as far as the coast of Peru.
