Wilaru telfordi is an extinct genus and species of stone-curlew from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene of Australia. It is the oldest known burhinid. It was described from fossil material collected from Lake Pinpa, Lake Palankarinna and Billeroo Creek, in the Lake Eyre Basin of north-eastern South Australia. The genus name Wilaru is the term for “stone curlew” in the Diyari language of the Lake Eyre region. The specific epithet honours American palaeontologist Richard H.
