status

 

Genus Brontornis Moreno & Mercerat, 1891

Remarks – Liornis Ameghino,1895, with the species L. floweri Ameghino, 1895 , and L. minor Dolgopol de Saez, 1927 , are evident synonyms of Phorusrhacos Ameghino, 1887 ; Devincenzia Kraglievich 1932 , is surely a robust form of Phorusrhacinae . These two genera were dealt with as synonyms of Brontornis by Brodkorb (1967).
