Psilopterus (Greek for "bare wing") is an extinct genus of phorusrhacid ("terror bird") from the Middle Oligocene to possibly the Late Pleistocene of Argentina and Uruguay. Compared to other phorusrhacids, members of the genus are both relatively gracile and diminutive, and include the smallest known species of terror bird: with the head raised P. bachmanni was 70–80 centimeters (2.3–2.6 ft) in height and weighed about 5 kilograms (11 lb), while the largest members of the genus were only about 8 kilograms (18 lb). The birds resemble the modern cariama (Cariama cristata), except with a heavier build and considerably smaller wings. The strong morphological similarity between the claws of the predatory cariama and Psilopterus, both of which are sharp, curved, and laterally compressed, may ind

rdfs:comment	プシロプテルス（学名:Psilopterus）は、古第三紀漸新世から新第三紀中新世にかけてアルゼンチンに生息したフォルスラコス科の絶滅した属。他のフォルスラコス科鳥類と比較して細く小柄であり、特にP. bachmanniは背丈70 - 80センチメートルで体重5キログラムと、既知のフォルスラコス科で最小の種である。本属で最大の種も体重7キログラムに過ぎない。重い体と極めて小さい翼を除けば、現在のアカノガンモドキに類似する。アカノガンモドキとプシロプテルスの鉤爪はどちらも鋭利で湾曲し、水平方向に圧縮されているという点で形態学的に酷似しており、これはプシロプテルスが獲物への攻撃に鉤爪を使っていたことを示唆している可能性がある。巨大なフォルスラコス科鳥類とは違ってプシロプテルスは鉤爪を使って木に登り、さらには飛翔することが可能だったと Tonni と Tambussi は提案したが、後に否定されている。 (ja) Psilopterus is een geslacht van uitgestorven schrikvogels (Phorusrhacidae) die van het Midden-Oligoceen tot het late Mioceen leefden in het huidige Argentinië. Vergeleken met andere schrikvogels was Psilopterus relatief klein en tenger. De soort Psilopterus bachmanni is met een hoogte van 70–80 cm de kleinst bekende schrikvogel.

Comparado con otros fororrácidos, los miembros de este género eran relativamente gráciles y pequeños, e incluyen las menores especies de aves del terror: con la cabeza en alto P. bachmanni alcanzaba 70 - 80 centímetros de altura y pesaba cerca de 5 kilogramos, mientras que los mayores miembros del género solo alcanzaban 7 kilogramos. Estas aves recordaban a la actual cariama (Cariama cristata), excepto por su constitución más robusta y alas considerablemente menores.
