Abstract

Pseudaptenodytes macraei is redescribed in detail using current avian anatomical terminology. The age of the species is constrained to the late Miocene, and two humeral autapomorphies are identified for the species: a flattened elliptical ventral portion of the fossa tricipitalis and a curved margo cranialis lacking a preaxial angle.
