摘要
A new species of late Pleistocene lapwing (Ayes: Charadriidae: Vanellinae) is described from the asphaltic deposits of Rancho La Brea, California. The new species is referred to the South American genus Belonopterus; it corresponds in size to small individuals of B. chilensis. This is the second paleospecies of lapwing reported for North America and the fourth described from the Americas.
