Taxonomic remark From Musser et al., 2019: Traditionally, the morphologically similar Eogruidae and Ergilornithidae were divided into separate families; however, traditional Eogruidae is likely paraphyletic with respect to Ergilornithidae (Clarke et al. 2005). Here, we use the suggested terminology of Clarke et al. (2005), and consider Eogruidae to include taxa that were historically placed within Ergilornithidae. [details]
