Rynchops Rynchops albicollis Rynchops est un genre d'oiseaux de la famille des Laridae. Ils ont pour nom normalisé bec-en-ciseaux. Dans certaines classifications scientifiques (Handbook of the Birds of the World, Clements), ce genre est placé dans sa propre famille, celle des Rynchopidae. Mais selon d'autres (Howard & Moore, COI), elle ne constitue qu'une sous-famille, les Rynchopinae, intégrée au sein de la famille des Laridae. Si cette sous-famille était élevée au rang de famille, cela rendrait la famille des Laridae paraphylétique.
