Thegornis is a extinct genus of Falconidae that lived during the Miocene of South America. Its skulls and postcranial morphology is similar to the laughing falcon and Forest falcon and also closely related^[1]. The seriema Noriegavis's holotype was transferred to this genus and the well-preserved specimen described in 2015 has been classified into Miocariama.
