Genus
Brontornis
Moreno & Mercerat, 1891
Remarks – Liornis
Ameghino,1895, with the species
L. floweri
Ameghino, 1895
, and
L. minor
Dolgopol de Saez, 1927
, are evident synonyms of
Phorusrhacos
Ameghino, 1887
;
Devincenzia
Kraglievich 1932
, is surely a robust form of
Phorusrhacinae
. These two genera were dealt with as synonyms of
Brontornis
by Brodkorb (1967).
