A taxonomic group or classification for birds or animals having toothed beaks; an order or group with dentirostral characteristics.
From Latin 'dentis' (tooth) + 'rostres' (beaked ones, plural of rostrum). This is a Latinized taxonomic category used in older ornithological and zoological classifications.
This term is mostly found in 19th and early 20th-century scientific texts before our modern classification system took over—it's a window into how scientists used to organize animals before DNA and modern phylogenetics.
