Podiceps arndti is an extinct species of grebe from the Upper Pliocene of California.[1]
The species was described in a monograph on fossil birds of the San Diego Formation from Robert M. Chandler in 1990. The species name "arndti" is in honor of Joseph Arndt for his contributions for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County with collecting fossils from the San Diego Formation.[2]
