Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
V. L. De Pietri et al. 2011Least inclusive clade including Laridae, “Sternidae” (including Anous and Gygis), Rynchopidae, and extinct Laricolidae, n. fam., but excluding Stercorariidae. Characterized by: marked impressio coracobrachialis (humerus, also in Stercorariidae); pronounced fossa musculi brachialis (humerus, except Anous). Differing from Stercorariidae in: presence of fossa cau- dalis (mandible); subovate facies articularis acrocoracoidea (furcula) extending over nearly entire width of scapus claviculae.
