See list Laricola is a genus of extinct gull-like birds that lived during the late Oligocene and early Miocene in what is now Europe.
[2] Milne-Edwards (1863–1868) had previously classified three of the genus' members (Laricola elegans, L. totanoides, and L. desnoyersii) as Larus.
[3][4] The type species is Laricola elegans (Milne-Edwards, 1868).
Laricola have "proportionally longer and more slender legs" than extant species of the family Laromorphae.
[1] Laricola fossils stem from France, and allegedly the Czech Republic.
