| A. O. Averianov et al. 2024 | A medium-sized theropod of the family Noasauridae. Differs from Elaphrosaurus and Limusaurus by head of humerus globular,metatarsal II proximal end smaller than that of metatarsal IV, and metatarsal IV shaft lateromedially compressed. Additionally differs from Elaphrosaurus by centrum of posterior cervicals not constricted in the middle, additional pneumatic foramina on the posterior cervical neural arch, scapulocoracoid glenoid facet longer than wide, humerus lacking internal tuberosity and posterolateral tubercle, head of femur pointed medially, having proximal articular groove and lacking oblique ligament groove, reduced proximal lateral condyle of tibia, and fibular crest of tibia well separated from proximal end. Additionally differs from Limusaurus by coracoid lacking biceps tubercle, flat distal articular surface of humerus, transversely wider distal end of metatarsal IV, and single groove on pedal unguals. |
