The Puerto Rican quail-dove (Geotrygon larva) is an extinct species of dove from the genus of quail-doves (Geotrygon). It is only known by subfossil material from the Holocene. Remains of the Puerto Rican quail-dove were unearthed in the caves Cueva Clara and Cueva Catedral near Morovis, in the cave Cueva Toraño at Utuado and in a kitchen midden near Mayagüez on Puerto Rico. The holotype, a tarsometatarsus, was discovered in July 1916 by zoologist Harold Elmer Anthony in the cave Cueva Clara.
