Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. A. Carlini et al. 2006 | Mirandabradys species larger than M. socorrensis
and M. zebasi. Proximal half of the femur more expanded mediolaterally than in M. socorrensis and with the distal half of the femur more rotated toward the sagittal plane. Trochanteric fossa well developed. Trochanter minor more developed than in M. socorrensis and M. zabasi; third trochanter more distinguishable. Entepicondyle prominent and projecting medially as in M. socorrensis. Patellar facet more developed and straighter than in the other two species of Mirandabradys. |
