Fesenko H. V.

Summary:
The first part of national genus names covering 15 orders of non-Passeriformes of the world fauna is presented in previous publication. The list presented in the given article covers other non-Passeriformes orders, namely Pterocliformes, Columbiformes, Psittaciformes, Cuculiformes, Strigiformes, Caprimulgiformes, Apodiformes, Coliiformes, Trogoniformes, Coraciiformes, Galbuliformes, Piciformes. The proposed list includes 465 genera of which more than two-thirds are presented in Ukrainian for the first time. The genera composition corresponds to the classification adopted in the edition of the "Handbook of the Birds of the World". A number of neologisms are used for home nomenclature. Borrowings are proposed from several living European foreign languages namely English, French, German, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Latin as a symbolized language. Home names of more than 110 bird species are entered in the article in not direct form. They have not been named in Ukrainian until now. Short critical review is carried out on some instances in the composition of bird names of national nomenclature proposed by previous researchers.
