From HandWiki
Kuntur is an extinct monotypic genus of cathartid bird that lived in South America during the Tortonian stage of the Miocene epoch.[1]
Kuntur, the generic name, derives from the Quechua word for condor. The specific epithet of Kuntur cardenasi, the type species of the genus, refers to Santiago de Cárdenas, the first Peruvian naturalist to study condors.[2]
