Jabiru mycteria View in CoL : Wetmore 1928: 2.
Ciconia maltha : Howard 1942: 202.
Ciconia malttla : Newton 2003: 266 (lapsus calami).

Holotype.—Left tarsometatarsus, UCMP 11202 ( Miller 1910: 440, Figs. 1 View Figure 1 * [proximal], 2* [distal]). Collected by members of the ‘University of California’ ( Miller 1910: 439).
Type locality.—Rancho La Brea, Los Angeles, California, USA (see Miller 1910, Howard 1942, Wetmore 1956: 22, Brodkorb 1963: 289).
Referred material.— Tibiotarsus: distal left, AMNH unnumbered. Tarsometatarsus: proximal right, AMNH unnumbered (see Howard 1942).
Distribution.—Spring deposit (not ‘from a cave’ as indicated by Howard 1942: 189) in central Cuba (see Appendix). Cienfuegos. Palmira: CCM ( Wetmore 1928: 2 [‘ Jabiru mycteria ’], Howard 1942: 201). For summary of continental distribution, see Wetmore (1956: 22, 1959: 8–9), Brodkorb (1963: 289–290), Emslie (1998: 26–27) and Kilmer & Steadman (2016: table 4).
Direct 14 C dating .— None in Cuba. Two indirect conventional dates from its fossil locality in Cienfuegos. Late Pleistocene ( CCM):>30,000 to 25,000 ± 2000 14 C yr BP ( Kulp et al. 1952: 419, table 2 [two samples: pine cones and wood]) .
Notes.—The two referred specimens ( Howard 1942: 201–202) are the only known material of this taxon in Cuba. Formerly recorded as Jabiru mycteria (M. H. C. Lichtenstein, 1819) by Wetmore (1928: 2–3), reidentified as Ciconia maltha by Howard (1942: 202; see also Wetmore 1956: 22, 1959: 9). Navarro (2021: 58, table 4) confused C. maltha with another fossil congeneric taxon in Cuba, the smaller and undescribed Ciconia sp. (see below), which is restricted to tar seeps in Matanzas province ( Suárez & Olson 2003a, Suárez 2020a).
