Coragyps is a genus of New World vulture that contains the black vulture (Coragyps atratus) and two extinct relatives.
One extinct species is the 'western' black vulture, Coragyps occidentalis, a larger ancestral relative of the modern species which lived in North America during much of the Pleistocene epoch.[1][2] The other is the Cuban black vulture, Coragyps seductus, known from the Pleistocene of Cuba.[3]
