Abstract
A complete large mandible from the early Miocene Neville's Garden Site, Riversleigh, northwestern Queensland, Australia, represents a new genus and species of songbird, Longimornis robustirostrata. L. robustirostrata is referred to the Oriolidae, closest to the figbirds Sphecotheres. It is the third named passerine from the Tertiary of Australia.
