_Anomalopteryx antiquus_ Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst. XXIV, p. 124 (1892).
_A. antiquus_ was named by Captain Hutton from the photographs of bones
described by Dr. Forbes in the above-quoted article. The evidence is very
slight on which to found a species, but I prefer to treat it as one, for
the bones were discovered in the Upper Miocene, a much older stratum than
most remains of _Dinornithidae_ occur in.
