Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| U. B. Göhlich and C. Mourer-Cauvire 2010 | Largest species of Borvocarbo. Size between that of the extant cormorants P. carbo and P. aristotelis. Ulna with processus cotylaris dorsalis lacking hook-like distal end. Tibiotarsus with sulcus extensorius in almost central position along midline, with pons supratendineus proximodistally wide and almost horizontal, and condylus medialis extending only slightly further distally than condylus lateralis. These morphological characters also characterize ?B. stoeffelensis, but ?B. tardatus is distinctly larger. |
