Sarcoramphus is a genus of New World vulture that contains a single extant species, the king vulture (Sarcoramphus papa).
Extinct members of the genus include the Kern vulture (Sarcoramphus kernense) from the mid-Pliocene of North America,[1] and Sarcoramphus fischeri from the Late Pleistocene of Peru.[2]
A hypothetical species known as the painted vulture is also assigned to this genus, but no concrete proof of its existence has been found as of yet.[3]
