<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="diogenornis-fragilis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Diogenornis fragilis is an extinct large flightless bird from the Eocene of Brazil, tentatively assigned to the rhea lineage (Rheiformes). Known from fragmentary limb bones, this carnivorous or omnivorous ratite inhabited early Cenozoic South American environments. Its discovery adds to the poorly documented early Paleogene avifauna of South America.
