<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="archaeospheniscus-lopdelli"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Archaeospheniscus lopdelli was an Eocene to Oligocene penguin from New Zealand, representing a medium-sized member of this extinct penguin genus. A fish and squid-hunting diving seabird, it lived during a critical period of climate transition in the Southern Ocean. Its fossils from Otago, New Zealand, contribute to understanding the diversity and palaeobiology of early Cenozoic penguins.
