Abstract: The discovery indicates the first record of fossil birds from South China. 3 Orders, 3 Families, 6 Genera, 6 Species including 2 new genera and 4 new species are deseribed in the present paper. They are Anas sp. ; Aythya shihubas sp. nov. ; Bambusicala sp. ; Di-angallus mious gen. et sp. nov. ; Phasinaus lufengia sp. nov. ; Yunnanus gaoyuansis gen. et sp. nov. ; and order family indet. The fossils were collected together with Ramapithecus, Sivapithecus and other vertebrate animals by a field party of IVPP. in Upper Miocene in the Shihuba, Lufeng County, Yunnan Province during 1980-1984. This is the brief report of my paper "Upper Miocene birds from Lufeng, Yunnan, China".
Family AnatidacGenus: Aythya BoieAythya shihubas sp. nov. Characters: The proximal end of left humerus similar to Aythya, but the difference with the other species as follows: (1) the head of humerus smaller, the capital crest bigger, there is a groove in attachment of latissimus dorsi posterioris; (2) the external tuberosity of proximal end of humerus not clear, deltoid crest not expanded; (3) the ligamenital furrow deep, bicipital surface smaller.
Family: Phasianidae Genus: Diangallus gen. nov. Diangallus mious sp. nov Characters: The size similar to Gallus, tarsometatarsus wider, bone wall thick, cal. car long and curved, tubercle for tibialis anticus very large, trochleae for digits 3 arch.
Genus: Phasinaus LinnaeusDiangallus mious sp. nov. Phasinaus lufengia sp. nov Characters: Similar to Phasinaus, but the difference with the other species in the following: (1) tibiotarsus shrink, antero-posteriorly not flat; (2) inner condyle and outer condyle of tibiotarsus expanded; anterior intercondylar fossa deep and wide; (3) tarsometatarsus more slight than other species; (4) trochleae of distal end of tarsometa-tarsus slightly arched.
Family: Incertae SedisGenus: Yunnanus gen. nov. Yunnanus gaoyuansis sp. nov. Characters: Small passerine. (1) head of humerus large, capital groove deep, pnematic formen only one, ligamental furrow not deep, deltoid erest thick; (2) the shaft of humerus more slightly, but proximal end and distal end expanded, olecranal fossa large and deep, tricipital groove very developed, internal condyle developed; (3) coracoid more strong, sterno-coracoidal impression not clearly expanded; (4) head of femur very small, crista trochanteris not developed, impressiones obturatoriae clearly; (i) tibiotarsus strong and long, but internal condyle and external condyle not expanded.
