摘要：

Two new species of the Eocene avian taxonPlesiocathartes (Aves: ?Leptosomidae) are described. They are similar in size and overall appearance to other members of the genus, as well as to the extant Madagascan cuckoo-rollerLeptosomus discolor. So far, putative fossil Leptosomidae have been found only in the Eocene European de-posits of Messel, Geiseltal, Quercy, and London Clay. Both new species are from the Lower Eocene Green River Formation (USA) and thus the first New World representatives of this taxon.
