Milvago Brodkorbi
''Milvago'' is a genus of bird of prey in the family Falconidae. Species ''Milvago'' contains two extant species: They are native to South America and Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, with ''M. chimachima'' just reaching to the Isthmus of Panama and into Costa Rica, though recently having expanded its range into the northern part of the country. Prehistorically the genus extended much further north into Cuba and Hispaniola. ;Fossil species * †''Milvago brodkorbi'' (Late Pleistocene of Peru) * †''Milvago alexandri'' (Late Pleistocene of Hispaniola, West Indies) * †''Milvago carbo,'' Cuban caracara (Holocene of Cuba, West Indies) *†''Milvago diazfrancoi'' (Late Pleistocene of Cuba) A paleosubspecies of the yellow-headed caracara from Florida is also known.

Paleosubspecies
A chronospecies is a species derived from a sequential development pattern that involves continual and uniform changes from an extinct ancestral form on an evolutionary scale. The sequence of alterations eventually produces a population that is physically, morphologically, and/or genetically distinct from the original ancestors. Throughout the change, there is only one species in the lineage at any point in time, as opposed to cases where divergent evolution produces contemporary species with a common ancestor. The related term paleospecies (or palaeospecies) indicates an extinct species only identified with fossil material. That identification relies on distinct similarities between the earlier fossil specimens and some proposed descendant although the exact relationship to the later species is not always defined. In particular, the range of variation within all the early fossil specimens does not exceed the observed range that exists in the later species. A paleosubspecies (o ...
