Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. M. Casamiquela 1964La misma del género.
J. O. Calvo 2007Very smali and drgitigrade quadrupedal dinosaur with three functional toes on the foot and one in the hand. Pace angulation almost 180°. The foot has three wide toe impressions. The central toe is longer than the lateral ones. Its distal end is acuminate. Manus impression is digitiform and the size of the foot toes. It is located close to the foot impression but on the external side; therefore, the foot looks like a tetradactyl, although it is clearly tridactyi. No tail impression is visible (Casamiquela 1964).
S. de Valais 2011Same as for ichnogenus.
