Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. L. Cole et al. 2019 | Characterized by elongate ovoid premaxilla in dorsal view and relatively shallow mandible. Distinguished from E. chrysocome, E. filholi, and E. moseleyi by larger size (supplementary table S5, Supplementary Material online). The largest specimens, including the holotype, rival the largest extant Eudyptes taxon (E. chrysolophus schlegeli). Distinguished from E. pachyrhynchus and E. robustus by rela- tively elongate premaxilla. Distinguished from E. chrysolophus chrysolophus and E. chrysolophus schlegeli by proportionally shallower mandible. Distinguished from E. sclateri by more bowed premaxilla (dorsally) and notably shallower mandible. Distinguished from the Pliocene Eudyptes calauina by smaller and more slender humerus (max. length 70 mm in E. warhami vs. ????81 mm in E. calauina). |
