Winge (1887) reported four humeri from Lapa da Escrivânia V. They vary in size and are smaller than in Zenaida auriculata , but still very similar to it, and well-differentiated from Paraclaravis geoffroyi and Geotrygon montana . Additionally, there is a similar humerus from Lapa da Escrivânia XI, but it is even smaller, closer in size to that of Columbina squammata than that of Z. auriculata .

Quaternary – PE, PI

Zenaida auriculata noronha – Olson 1981: 484.

Zenaida auriculata – Carleton and Olson 1999: 9.

Olson (1981) reported fossilized remains of Zenaida auriculata noronha found during his 1973 expedition on the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Pernambuco. They indicate the occurrence of this subspecies on the islands is not new. This insular taxon is the same found in parts of northeastern Brazil, probably due to the frequent inflows of individuals from the continent.

Zenaida auriculata – Guérin et al. 2002: 136.

Guérin et al. (1996) reported this species from Toca da Janela da Barra do Antonião. At least eight adults and one young individual are present in the material .

Claravis pretiosa ? – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 493.

Winge (1887) reported some humeri from Lapa da Escrivânia V.They are considerably smaller than in Paraclaravis geoffroyi but morphologically equivalent, and he noted they almost certainly belong to Claravis pretiosa .
