Paludiavis is a genusofextinct waterbirds in the Pelecaniformes family. It was described from fossil tarsometatarsus pieces, one found in the Upper Miocene series of the Shivalik Formation in northern Pakistan and the other, a 1972 find that is also from the Upper Miocence, of Tunisia, referred by Colin Harrison and Cyril Walker to the same genus.[1][2][3] The genus consists of only one species, Paludavis richae.[4][5][6]
