For other uses, see Apus (disambiguation). Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky. It represents a bird-of-paradise, and its name means without feet in Greek because the bird-of-paradise was once wrongly believed to lack feet. First depicted on a celestial globe by Petrus Plancius in 1598, it was charted on a star atlas by Johann Bayer in his 1603 Uranometria.
