Sylvia pussila is an extinct species of Sylvia that inhabited Hungary during the Neogene period.[1]

Etymology

The specific epithet "pussila" is derived from the Latin word for "small" (pusilla), which means that this is likely a case of lapsus calami. The describing author, Kessler, made the same mistake where he wrote "Sitta pusilla" most of the time, but also once as "Sitta pussila" while listing species.[1]
