Laricolais agenusof extinctgull-like birds that lived during the lateOligoceneand earlyMiocenein what is now Europe.^[1]

Taxonomy

Mlíkovský described the genusLaricolain 2002.^[2]Milne-Edwards (1863–1868) had previously classified three of the genus' members (Laricola elegans,L.totanoides,andL.desnoyersii)asLarus.^[3]^[4]Thetype speciesisLaricola elegans(Milne-Edwards, 1868). Laricola have "proportionally longer and more slender legs" than extant species of the familyLaromorphae.^[1]

Laricolafossils stem from France, and allegedly the Czech Republic.^[1]

The genus contains five species.^[1]
