Pseudoseisuropsis is a genus of extinct birds in the ovenbird family from the Pleistocene of Argentina and Uruguay. The genus was described in 1991 based on disarticulated skeletal elements and a nearly-complete skull. [1] Although originally believed to be closely related to the extant genus Pseudoseisura , phylogenetic analyses suggested a more basal origin within the family. [2] [3]
