Laridae Rafinesque

400. Laridae indet. 1

Quaternary – MG

G. sp. indet. Larus (s. lat.) e minoribus, vel Sterna (s. lat.) e majoribus – Winge 1887: 29.

“um exemplar, de genero e especie desconhecidos, ou uma especie pequena de Larus , ou grande de Sterna ” – Goeldi 1894: 603.

Larus sp. (“kann auch Sterna View in CoL sein”) – Lambrecht 1933: 766. Pseudosterna degener (?) – Mercerat 1897: 238.

Laridae View in CoL (sensu lato) indet. – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 492.

Winge (1887) reported a carpometacarpus lacking the inferior part from Lapa da Escrivânia V, which may have belonged to a large tern or a small gull. It is similar to that of Rynchops niger View in CoL but slightly smaller.

Mercerat (1897) raised the possibility that this material belongs to Pseudosterna degener , genus and species he erect- ed for material of the Pleistocene of Argentina ( Brodkorb 1967). However, his assumption was based on Winge’s texts only. In addition to being represented by different skeletal elements than those known from the larid of the Lagoa Santa region, the type material of both Pseudosterna degener and Pseudosterna pampeana , a second species described on the same occasion, were never illustrated and were subsequently lost ( Olson 1985b, Mones 1986).

401. Laridae indet. 2

Late Holocene – RJ

Sterna View in CoL (?) – Lima and Silva 1984: 30.

Lima and Silva (1984) reported remains possibly referable to Sterna View in CoL (sensu lato) from the Ilha de Santana site in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, dated 1,260±330 years BP. The material is represented by a complete synsacrum, a partial right coracoid, a complete right humerus, the proximal end of a left ulna, and the proximal end of a right carpometacarpus. The authors noted that these remains probably represent a single species, somewhat smaller than Sterna eurygnatha View in CoL (= Thalasseus acuflavidus eurygnathus ).

402. Laridae indet. 3

Middle Holocene – SC

“seagulls” [in part] – Mendes and Rodrigues 2019: 239. Laridae indet. – Mendes and Rodrigues 2024: 8.

Mendes and Rodrigues (2019, 2024) reported an indeterminate larid bone from the Congonhas I (SC-LS-30) sambaqui in Tubarão, Santa Catarina.
