摘要
A fragmentary skull of a small passerine from the mid-Holocene organic-rich deposits at Florisbad, South Africa, shows a pattern of distinctive characters that allows its identification as a Cercomela chat. It resembles most closely the Familiar Chat C. familiaris and Karoo Chat C. schlegelii, which are still part of the avifauna in this part of South Africa. Furthermore, the significance of several characters of the skull for hypotheses on the phylogeny of Muscicapoidea in general, and Saxicolinae in particular, is discussed.
