Description:
Avian paleontology in Brazil is a research field still in its early stages despite its relatively abundant material. The remains are represented by bones, feather impressions, eggs, coprolites, and ichnofossils found in all Regions of Brazil starting in the 1830s. Reviewing and cataloging the history of studies and all records, with updates of their taxonomic nomenclature, including detailed material, synonyms, data on deposition, and paleobiological inference, are important to provide an overview of their diversity and offer subsidies for phylogenetic, taxonomic, and biogeographic studies. The literature survey resulted in 378 records represented by the following groups (number of taxa in brackets Maniraptora (penas) (70), Aves indet. (23), Columbidae (20), Psittacidae (18), Rallidae (17), Accipitridae (16), Tinamidae (12), Cathartidae (9), Falconidae (9), Passeriformes (9), Strigidae (9), Anhingidae (8), Picidae (8), Anatidae (7), Cracidae (7), Caprimulgidae (6), Ciconiidae (6), Procellaridae (5), Scolopacidae (5), Thamnophilidae (5), Thraupidae (5), Trochilidae (5), Cuculidae (4), Dendrocolaptidae (4), Enantiornithes (4), Icteridae (4), Podicipedidae (4), Tyrannidae (4), Cariamiformes (3), Hirundinidae (3), Laridae (3), Phalacrocoracidae (3), Phorusrhacidae (3), Rheidae (3), Sulidae (3), Ardeidae (2), Bucconidae (2), Charadriidae (2), Diomedeidae (2), Formicariidae (2), Furnariidae (2), Momotidae (2), Nyctibiidae (2), Palaeognathae (2), Quercymegapodiidae (2), Ramphastidae (2), Threskiornithidae (2), Troglodytidae (2), Trogonidae (2), Turdidae (2), Vireonidae (2), Alcenididae (1), Anhimidae (1), Apodidae (1), Cardinalidae (1), Cariamidae (1), Corvidae (1), Fregatidae (1), Gracilitarsidae (1), Jacanidae (1), Mimidae (1), Neognathae (1), Odontophoridae (1), Opisthocomidae (1), Ornithuromorpha (1), Palaelodidae (1), Passerellidae (1), Pelagornithidae (1), Phoenicopteridae (1), Spheniscidae (1), Strigiformes (1), Teratornithidae (1), and Tytonidae (1). Among these, 16 extinct genera and 21 extinct species were described. Most of the material was found in limestone caves of quaternary age and represents almost exclusively neospecies. In general, a large quantity of material awaits deeper analyses, including elements that are non-diagnostic, non-accessible or that may represent neospecies in the case of more recent material.
