Widhalm actually called this bird "Pelecanus odessanus. fossilis Widhalm"; Brodkorb 1963 https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00001514/00001/184j treated Widhalm's work as non-binominal and attributed the name Pelecanus odessanus to Lambrecht 1933.

(For Eostega and Sula stocktoni, I have only seen Google Books snippets (e.g.: here], [here]), not sure if you're interested in this type of thing. Note that 'Palaeosula' is a subsequent spelling -- OD: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/52137750 .)
 
Thanks again Laurent,
In the case of Macranhinga fraileyi (Campbell, 1996) I just forgot to give the link,

For Eostega and Sula stocktoni, I have only seen Google Books snippets (e.g.: here], [here]), not sure if you're interested in this type of thing. Of course I am interested, every little bit helps!

Note that 'Palaeosula' is a subsequent spelling -- OD: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/52137750 .)
You are zbsolutely right Laurent, I followed the spelling used by Brodkorb, 1963 in his Catalogue of Fossil Birds. Part 1 (Archaeopterygiformes through Ardeiformes), Bulletin of the Florida State Museum, Biological Sciences 7 (4): 179-293. I don't know whether this subsequent spelling is correct, but I don't think so. So I will shange my notes to the Original spelling as by Howard, 1958: Paleosula Howard, 1958.

Fossil Birds -- Phalacrocorax serdicensis sp. n. and Anser thraceiensis sp. n. from Bulgaria​
N. I. Burchak-Abramovich, Ivan Nikolov
(Summary)​
Two new species of fossil birds are described -- phalacrocorax and anser, found in Pontian sediments of Sofia and Thracian basin. Their species names are derived from Serdica and Thracia -- Phalacrocorax serdicensis sp. n. and Anser thraceiesensis sp. n. -- which are the names of the basins where Hrabârsko Village and the mine “Trojanovo-1” are located.​
Phalacrocorax serdicensis sp. n. A total of 13 fragments and whole bones of this taxon have been found which belong to one specimen. They are: humerus dext. ad. pars proximalis, scapula dext. ad., scapula sin. ad., fragm. coracoideum dext. ad., fragm. coracoideum sin. ad., ulna dext. ad. pars distalis, fragm. C-MC dext. ad., fragm. sterni ad. pars anterior, 3 vertebrate thoracales.​
Diagnosis. Ph. serdicensis sp. n. is of intermediate dimensions but is smaller than Ph. carbosinensis and larger than Ph. pygmaeus. Crista medialis humeri is relatively narrow and its margin projects considerably into the proximal-distal end of crista lateralis. The lower end of crista medialis humeri makes an obtuse angle with the surface of the bone in the diaphisis. The index of relative length of crista medialis to crista lateralis is 52.7. Facies bicipitalis is relatively wide. The index of its relative width to the maximum width of the bone at this level is 58.9. Caput articularis is small. The index of the relative width of the head of shoulder bone is 41.8. The acromium of the blade is relatively narrow with relative index of acromium width 64.1. The index of relative width of trochlea carpalis to its length is 85.0.​
Anser thraceiesensis sp. n. A total of 11 fragments and whole bones have been found. They belong to adult specimen. They are: humerus sin ad. pars proximalis, humerus sin. ad. pars distalis, coracoideum dext. ad., C-MC dext. ad., fragm. C-MC sin. ad., fragm. ulnae dext. ad. pars proximalis, fragm. ulnae dext. ad. pars distalis, radius dext. ad. pars proximalis, os cunieforme dext. ad., margo costalis sin. et dext.​
Diagnosis: Anser thraceiensis sp. n. is not much larger in size from the present-day representatives of Anser anser and Cyenopsis cygnoid. Condylus ulnaris is rounded at the shoulder bone and larger in length than the medio-lateral axis. The index of relative width is 80.0 Facies ligmenti internum is rounded. Its index of relative width is 90.0. Sulcus anconeus externus on the caudal surface of the bone is relatively wide with index of relative width 103.0. Os coracoideum is larger than that of g. Cygnopsis and the other taxa of g. Anser. The index of relative width to the length of the bone is 11.2. Fossa scapularis has equal horizontal and vertical diameter with index of relative height 100.0. C-MC is much larger than in the other species of gg. Anser and Cygnopsis, MC, is wide in the distal part, with index of relative width 8.0. The surface of phal. 1 dig. 2 is relatively wide with index of relative width 44.3. In the taxon described -- Anser thraceiensis sp. n. few of the established osteologic features are to a certain degree similar to Cygnopsis cygnoid but in general features, closer to g. Anser, predominate. This is the reason to refer this taxon to g. Anser.
