I assume the full reference ought to be: Ameghino, C. & C. Rusconi [but not; "Rusconie" ;)]. 1932. Nueva subespecie de avestruz fósil del Plioceno de Buenos Aires. ... (as told, for example/s; here, or here).

Though, unfortunately, I couldn't find it in a digitized copy (not even in this version). Good luck tracing it!

And what about the following Paper (and taxon): "Nueva subespecie de avestruz fósil del Pampeano Inferior", incl. the "Rhea americana anchorenense supes.n." [sic], apparently described in the same Journal (at least according to here) ... ?!? :unsure:

"Same, same, but different" ... :rolleyes:

Or not?

---

However, that's all I've found of the missing ODs in Neornithes.

See you in another topic/thread, elsewhere.

Yes, this one is the good one.

Rhea americana anchorenense [sic] Ameghino et Rusconi 1932.

(-ense is the adjectival suffix -ensis, used to form toponyms, in the nominative singular neuter; Rhea is feminine, hence the ending of the species name is to be corrected to the corresponding feminine -ensis.)
