Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| L. M. Ibiricu et al. 2015 | Limaysaurinae is supported by the following synapomorphies: accessory lamina connecting postzygodiapophyseal and spinoprezygapophyseal laminae in posterior cervical vertebrae (an ambiguous synapomorphy); contact of spinoprezygapophyseal and spinopostzygapophyseal laminae forming robust lateral lamina on lateral aspect of anterior caudal neural spines; and length of scapular acromion at least half of total scapular length (ambiguous synapomorphy). |
