;Fossil herons of unresolved affiliations:

Other prehistoric and fossil species are included in the respective genus accounts. In addition, ''[[Proherodius]]'' is a disputed fossil which was variously considered a heron or one of the extinct long-legged [[waterfowl]], the [[Presbyornithidae]]. It is only known from a [[sternum]]; a [[tarsometatarsus]] assigned to it actually belongs to the [[paleognath]] ''[[Lithornis]] vulturinus''.
