Miocariama is an extinct genus of seriema that lived in the Early Miocene and Late Pliocene. [1][2] The seriema Noriegavis's holotype was transferred to Thegornis and the well-preserved specimen described in 2015 attributed to Noriegavis has now been classified into this genus. The only species in the genus is Miocariama patagonica. It was discovered in the Santa Cruz Formation of the Aquitanian stage in the Miocene, and is the oldest known species within Cariamidae.[citation needed]
