Giant malleefowl

The giant malleefowl (''Leipoa gallinacea'') is an extinct megapode that was native to Australia. It was described from Plio-Pleistocene deposits at the Darling Downs and Chinchilla in south-east Queensland by Charles De Vis, who erected the genus ''Progura'' for it. Material referrable to the species has also been collected from South Australia and from Wellington Valley and the Wombeyan Caves of New South Wales.
==Taxonomy==
Comparison of Australian megapodes showed that ''Progura'' was closely related to the living malleefowl (''Leipoa ocellata''), though the fossil species ''gallinacea'' was considerably larger than the living one. A second species, ''P. naracoortensis'', was described in 1974 by van Tets from deposits in the Naracoorte Caves of south-eastern South Australia indicating differing size and leg proportions. It is now considered a synonym of ''L. gallinacea'', which was evidently sexually dimorphic.
