Resumen
La finalidad de la presente contribución es la de describir nuevos restos de aves fósiles procedentes de capas del Mioceno temprano-medio (Formaciones Punturas y Santa Cruz) en la provincia de Santa Cruz, Argentina. Estos incluyen un nuevo tinámido, un anhímido, dos nuevos patos tadorninos, posibles gruídos, psófidos y parvigruidos, un falcónido incierto, una nueva especie de falcónido del género Thegornis, un posible sofiornítido, un corácido, y restos de rállidos, foenicoptéridos y paseriformes del clado Tyranni innominados. Si la identificación es correcta el gruido representa el registro más antiguo para América del Sur y uno de los escasos hallazgos para el grupo en el continente entero. Por otro lado, el sofiornítido y el parvigruido constituirían los primeros registros para cada clado en Sudamérica. El psófido podría constituir el primer registro fósil certero para el clado a nivel mundial. El corácido constituye el primer registro para la familia en América del Sur y el más joven y segundo registro para los Coraciiformes en el continente. Este, junto al gruido, constituyen miembros de clados de aves que estaban ampliamente distribuidos durante el Paleógeno y Neógeno, pero que hoy en día se restringen a modo de relicto en el Viejo Mundo y en Norteamérica. Su extinción de la región Neotropical es aún incierta. La presencia de al menos tres miembros diferentes de Tyranni, refuerza las hipótesis previas que sostienen una larga y compleja historia no solo para el subclado, sino para los Passeriformes en general en América del Sur.
