海岸阔嘴恐鸟（学名：Euryapteryx curtus），又称为海岸宽喙恐鸟，是一种已灭绝的恐鸟。

分类学

2009年基因分析研究显示Euryapteryx curtus与Euryapteryx gravis为异名^[3]。一项2010年的研究认为两者之间的体型差异实际上是两性异形^[4]。另一项2012年针对形态学的分析则认为体型差异较大的个体属于亚种^[5]。

2009年，澳洲梅铎大学麦克·邦斯等人的分子生物学研究中，建构出如下的系统发生树^[6]：

恐鸟目 Dinornithiformes

巨恐鸟属（英语：Dinornis） Dinornis

	北方巨恐鸟 D. novaezealandiae

	南方巨恐鸟 D. robustus

高地恐鸟科（英语：Megalapterygidae） Megalapterygidae

	高地恐鸟 Megalapteryx didinus

东部恐鸟科（英语：Emeidae） Emeidae

厚恐鸟属（英语：Pachyornis） Pachyornis

Pachyornis australis

	Pachyornis elephantopus

	Pachyornis geranoides

灌木恐鸟 Anomalopteryx didiformis

	东部恐鸟 Emeus crassus

	海岸阔嘴恐鸟 Euryapteryx curtus

阔嘴恐鸟属于平胸小纲东部恐鸟科（英语：Emeidae）的物种。和其他恐鸟一样，牠们的胸骨不具有龙骨突，并具有形状独特的腭。目前的研究显示牠们的祖先仍保有飞行能力，直到飞行到目前分布的栖息地区才逐渐随着演化失去飞行能力^[7]。

栖息与分布地

复原图

阔嘴恐鸟分布于新西兰的北岛、南岛及斯图尔特岛的低地地区，包括沙丘、森林、灌木地及草原^[7]。

行为与环境学

截至2006年，半数以上收藏于博物馆的完整恐鸟蛋可能均为阔嘴恐鸟的蛋^[8]。原先被认为属于Euryapteryx gravis的蛋样本平均长度为205mm、宽度为143mm。而认为属于Euryapteryx curtus的蛋样本平均长度为122mm、宽度为94mm^[8]。
