Subfamily Botaurinae (Bitterns) View in CoL
The tarsometatarsi of bitterns have a prominent plantar metatarsal groove (sulcus flexorius) with a prominent central intermuscular line (crista plantaris), quite unlike the flatter morphology of Matuku otagoense . Also, the trochlea metatarsi III is deflected laterally from the shaft axis and they have a very small or lack a distal foramen.
