Milvago Spix

567. Milvago chimachima (Vieillot)

Quaternary – MG

Milvago chimachima – Winge 1887: 34.

Falconines [?] [in part] – Goeldi 1894: 76.

Milvago chima chima [sic] – Lambrecht 1933: 749.

Milvago chimachima – Brodkorb 1964: 296.

Milvago chimachima – Mones 1986: 85.

Polyborus chimachima – Cuello 1988: 39.

Milvago chimachima – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 494.

Winge (1887) reported a tarsometatarsus from Lapa da Escrivânia V. He noted that numerous Milvago bones were found in that cave, including very young specimens, but most could not be determined at the species level.

568. Milvago chimango (Vieillot)

Quaternary – MG

Milvago chimango – Winge 1887: 34.

Falconines [?] [in part] – Goeldi 1894: 76.

Milvago chimango – Brodkorb 1964: 296.

Polyborus chimango – Cuello 1988: 39.

Milvago chimango – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 494.

Winge (1887) reported a tarsometatarsus (well distinguished from Milvago chimachima ) and two tibiotarsi from Lapa da Escrivânia V. Many bones he determined as Milvago might belong to this taxon rather than to M. chimachima , despite M. chimango not being known to live in the Lagoa Santa region.
