Galbula hylochoreutes
''Galbula hylochoreutes'' is an extinct species of jacamar, small birds of the order of Coraciiformes. It was discovered in the geological formation La Victoria, in the fossil deposit at La Venta in modern Colombia, in deposits dating from the mid-Miocene period (13 to 11 million years), described from one end of right humerus.〔Rasmussen, Tab, 1997. Birds. In: R.F. Kay; R.H. Madden; R.L. Cifelli & J.J. Flynn (eds.) Vertebrate paleontology in the neotropics - the Miocene fauna of La Venta, Colombia. Smithsonian Institution Press.〕 Despite the poor of this record, it has distinctive features that permit the classification as a distinct species: the head of the humerus is larger than the modern jacamars (''Galbula''), so its overall size would also somewhat higher, the tubercle of the head is robust and the insertion of the humeral-scapular-caudal muscle is very large, indicating a strong development of the muscles of his chest and arms, giving great aerobatic skills,〔 so similar to the birds of the family Tyrannidae (tyrant, flycatchers, earwigs) and Meropidae (bee-eaters), which led to their scientific name of ''G. hylochoreutes'', which in Greek means "dancer of the forests", referring to the jungle environment in which the bird would have lived.〔 Its general appearance would have been similar to the paradise jacamar, ''Galbula dea''.
