Wilaru
'' Wilaru telfordi '' is an extinct genus and species of stone-curlew from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene of Australia. It is the oldest known burhinid. It was described from fossil material collected from Lake Pinpa, Lake Palankarinna and Billeroo Creek, in the Lake Eyre Basin of north-eastern South Australia. The genus name ''Wilaru'' is the term for “stone curlew” in the Diyari language of the Lake Eyre region. The specific epithet honours American palaeontologist Richard H. Telford (1929–2011) of the American Museum of Natural History, who led the 1971 expedition to Lake Pinpa during which much of the descriptive material was collected. ==References==
