Remains from square A6 were detected in the site’s three occupation periods, with some showing cutting marks and burn traces. The material is deposited in the CEPA collection.

247. Crypturellus sp. 4

Quaternary – BA

Crypturellus sp. – Silva and Cozzuol 2010: 111.

Silva and Cozzuol (2010) associated with this genus an incomplete tarsometatarsus lacking the proximal epiphysis among material found in the 1980s at Toca da Boa Vista in Campo Formoso, Bahia. The fossil is deposited in the MHNJB/UFMG collection.

248. Crypturellus obsoletus (Temminck)

Quaternary – MG

Crypturellus obsoletus – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 489.

Winge (1887) reported remains from various sites. From Lapa do Baú, a femur fragment. From Lapa do Capão Seco, a coracoid and a carpometacarpus of at least two individuals. From Lapa da Escrivânia V, several individuals, represented by the sternum, coracoid, humerus, and tibiotarsus. From Lapa do Marinho II, several bones of a single individual, represented by the coracoid, humerus, femur, and tarsometatarsus. From Lapa do Taquaral III, a humerus (No. 12209 in Lund’s catalog about this cave). Finally, without recorded origin, but similar in appearance with the last humerus, there is a sternum, an ulna, a femur, and a tibiotarsus. Winge noted the humerus’ proximal end is firmly encrusted in the carpometacarpus’ upper part (both on the left side), with the carpal [27] and the first phalanx of the alular digit in their place. There are also several bones from “various caves” [26] and of unknown origin.

249. Crypturellus noctivagus (Wied)

Quaternary – MG, PI, RS

Crypturus noctivagus – Winge 1887: 16.

Crypturellus noctivagus – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 490.

Winge (1887) reported bones of at least two individuals from “various caves” [26] consisting of the coracoid, humerus, ulna, carpometacarpus, and femur. He noted that only the humerus and the femur were compared with recent bones, and the other elements probably belong to the same set of bones. There are also two humeri of unknown origin.

Brodkorb (1963) erroneously listed it as coming from Lapa da Escrivânia, an error repeated by Cuello (1988).

Crypturellus parvirostris – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 490.

Winge (1887) reported numerous bones from Lapa da Escrivânia V and several individuals of recent age [28], including skulls. He noted that, although the bones of this species are supposedly quite distinct from those of Crypturellus tataupa , this is often questionable.

Crypturellus tataupa – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 490.

Winge (1887) reported several bones from Lapa da Escrivânia V, more bones from Lapa do Marinho II, two left carpometacarpus fragments from Lapa do Capão Seco (which might be from Crypturellus parvirostris ), and a “dissolved” skeleton of recent age [28] found in a cave and determined by Lund. There is a humerus from Lapa do Baú (“1138 Crypturus ” in Lund’s catalog) with an intermediate size between C. obsoletus and C. tataupa , but closer to the latter (of which it can be a very large individual). There is also a skeleton of recent age [28] determined by Lund as “ Crypturus inter obsoletum et tataupam ”, about which Winge commented that if it is not this species, there is no corresponding contemporary form in the region. As this tinamid record received a designation in Lund’s catalog, it might be what he referred to as belonging to the genus Crypturus ( Lund 1841d) , and what Liais (1872: 303) called “le genre Tinamou ( Tinamus de Lath. , Crypturus d’Illig., le Nhambú du Brésil)” and noted it had a species in quaternary times.

Jacobus (2004) reported remains from the Dalpiaz (RS-LN-1) rock shelter in Maquiné, Rio Grande do Sul. The material is deposited in the MARSUL collection.
