In Australia,ratites(Aves:Palaeognathae)are represented in the extant fauna by the family Casuariidae with 1 species of emu Dromaius novaehollandiae and 1 cassowary Casuarius *** Australian fossil re-cord reveals no other extinct ratite families but there are a number of other casuariid *** significant of these,due to its Oligo-Miocene age and because it is known from abundant material,is emuarius ***,we describe additional material and confirm that the taxon had a temporal range of Late Oligocene to Mid-dle Miocene(approximately 24-15 Ma).We reveal new morphological details,including notably that the spe-cies had relatively much smaller eyes than ***,in addition to a less well-developed cursori-al ability,as inferred from its pelvic *** these respects,emuarius is similar to Casuarius and suggest that it was adapted to denser vegetation than the open woodlands and grasslands that characterise much of Austra-lia today and to which ***,with its large eyes and enhanced cursorial ability,is strongly *** was compared to and found to be distinct from the poorly provenanced Australian fossil species *** conducted a phylogenetic analysis of morphological data that robustly shows that *** is the sister taxon of Dromaius and together these taxa form a clade that is sister to *** indicates that the evolution towards enhanced cursorality that characterises Dromaius took place after the divergence of the emu-cassowary lineages and was likely not the driving mechanism of this *** between ***-vaehollandiae and *** revealed no qualitative skeletal differences and we suggest that the latter tax-on is best considered to be an island dwarf that should be taxonomically recognized at a subspecific level only.
