- Proapteryx abstract "Proapteryx is an extinct genus of kiwi known from the early Miocene sediments of the Saint Bathans formation of Otago, New Zealand. It is considerably smaller than modern kiwis, weighing around 234.1 - 377g (the smallest living kiwi, Apteryx owenii, weighs at least 800 g), and its more gracile proc. oticus may indicate a shorter bill. It bears distinctively slender hindlimbs, more comparable in terms of proportion to flying birds like the Banded Rail than to extant kiwis, and it is speculated to have been capable of powered flight, or to have evolved relatively recently from flying ancestors.This lack of speciation for a terrestrial, flightless lifestyle confirms the hypothesis that kiwi ancestors flew to New Zealand from Australia in the Miocene, well after moas had developed into their modern forms (moa remains are also known from Saint Bathans, already large and flightless), confirming genetic and morphological analysis that showcase that the two clades arrived to New Zealand independently, and that they aren't particularly closely related, moas forming a clade with tinamous and kiwis with Australian ratites, the cassowary and emu.".
