Abstract

New materials on “Rhodospiza” shaamarica Zelenkov et Kurochkin, 2012 from the Upper Pliocene of Shaamar (Northern Mongolia) and Beregovaya (Southern Transbaikalia; Russia) localities are described. It is shown that R. shaamarica should be assigned to the genus Emberiza (Emberizidae): thus, this is the first fossil bunting species found in Asia. The morphological similarity of Emberiza shaamarica comb nov. to the modern common reed bunting E. schoeniclus is noted. The fossil record and evolutionary history of Emberiza are analyzed. Taxonomic revision of previously described fossil species of Emberiza is performed.

介绍了Shaamar（北蒙古）上新世和Beregovaya（南Transbaikalia；俄罗斯）上新世的“ Rhodospiza” shaamarica Zelenkov et Kurochkin，2012年的新材料。结果表明，应将R. shaamarica归入Emberiza（Emberizidae）属：因此，这是在亚洲发现的第一个bun旗bun物种。Emberiza shaamarica comb nov的形态相似性。到现代常见的芦苇彩旗E. schoeniclus。分析了Emberiza的化石记录和演化历史。进行了先前描述的Emberiza化石物种的分类修订。
