Resumen:
The fossil record of the Charadriiformes in South America is scarce and limited to the Neogene of Argentinaand Peru. In the present contribution, we present and describe a nearly complete tarsometatarsus ofThinocorus rumicivorus (Least Seedsnipe) from the Ensenadan Age/Stage (early-middle Pleistocene) ofPunta Hermengo, Buenos Aires province, Argentina, which constitutes the youngest record for the speciesto date. We also compare the material with extant and fossil Thinocoridae. The stratigraphic range of thefossil predates the Matuyama/Brunhes boundary and is coincident with the biozone of Mesotheriumcristatum, which indicates a more humid and warmer climate than the present for the species.
