in the Australian fauna. However, the combination of a narrow dorsal part of sulcus humerotricipitalis, a markedly prominent epicondylus ventralis, the dorsally inflated facies between the tuberculum supracondylare dorsale and the epicondylus dorsalis, and a distally short processus flexorius, distinguish it from all other accipitrids. As this humerus is unambiguously identifiable as that of an accipitrid and is distinguished from all known genera and species,
