Left distal tarsometatarsus of Piculoides saulcetensis gen. et sp. nov. (NMB Sau.4975) from the early Miocene of Saulcet, in comparison to extant and fossil Pici. a–b, Piculoides saulcetensis gen. et sp. nov., in plantar and dorsal views, respectively; dorsal views of the tarsometatarsi of Jynx torquilla (c), Picumnus albosquamatus (d), Picus viridis (e), and Trachyphonus margaritatus (f); distal views of the tarsometatarsi of Piculoides saulcetensis (g), Jynx torquilla (h), Picumnus albosquamatus (i), Picus viridis (j), and Trachyphonus margaritatus (k); lateral views of the tarsometatarsi of Piculoides saulcetensis (l), Jynx torquilla (m), Picumnus albosquamatus (n), Picus viridis (o), and Trachyphonus margaritatus (p); right tarsometatarsus of SMF Av. 429, from the late Oligocene of Germany, in distal (q, not to scale), and dorsal (r) views. We point out that trochlea accessoria of SMF Av. 429 is badly damaged, and that the edges of trochlea metatarsi III are worn. Abbreviations: art. surf. tr. met. IV, articular surface of trochlea metatarsi IV; sul. ten. M. ext. digit. long, sulcus for the tendon of musculus extensor digitorum longus pars dig. IV; tr. acc., trochlea accessoria; tr. met. II, trochlea metatarsi II; tr. met. III, trochlea metatarsi III; tr. met. IV, trochlea metatarsi IV. Images c, d, f, h, I, k, m, n, p have been mirrored to facilitate comparisons. Scale bars are 2 mm, except g–k and q, 1 mm. (Photographs d, i, n, q and r by Sven Tränkner, Senckenberg, Frankfurt)
