	A new gruiform from Messel - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The osteology of the skull is broadly congruent with those of Psophiidae and Cariamidae, and in particular the postorbital process closely matches in morphology that of the trumpeters.
		Synapomorphic characters of Psophiidae observed in the carpometacarpus of Salmila include the presence of a distinct ventral tubercle on the minor metacarpal, and the elevated face of the trochlea carpalis between the pisiform and minor metacarpal.
		Given that this taxon convincingly demonstrates a close relationship between the Psophiidae and Cariamae, the conclusion that Gruiformes is polyphyletic must be regarded with skepticism.

		In older times they were grouped with that other diurnal bird of prey that runs on long legs, the Secretarybird Sagittarius serpentarius of Africa, but more recent evidence (including tentative DNA results) has placed the seriemas in the Gruiformes (cranes/rails order) rather than the Falconiformes to which the Secretarybird belongs.
		But whether seriemas are most closely related to trumpeters (Psophiidae), bustards (Otididae), or the New Caledonia single-species family, the Kagu Rhynochetos jubatus, remains unknown (Gonzaga 1996).
		I found the Red-legged Seriema to be difficult to see in southwestern Brazil.
