Extinct genus of birds
Wingegyps is an extinct genus of tiny condor from the Late Pleistocene of South America. The type species W. cartellei was described from cave deposits in the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais, Brazil. It was close related to the genera Vultur and Gymnogyps, particularly the former.[1]
The genus is named after Danish ornithologist Oluf Winge, who first described the remains in 1888, without attributing a new scientific name.[1]
