Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
N. R. Longrich et al. 2013Small caenagnathid. Dentary short and deep, with tip of dentary upturned in lateral view. Four symphyseal ridges. Short caudal symphyseal shelf. Dentary contributes to dorsal margin of external mandibular fenestra. Dentaries strongly divergent, with posterior rami of dentaries forming an angle of roughly 35° in dorsal view.
