Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. Angst et al. 2013 | A middle-sized phorusrhacid (height about 1.5 m)
showing a combination of basal and derived characters. Trochlea II of the tarsometatarsus is expanded medially as in psilopterines, while the pre-acetabular part of the ilia is more compressed laterally and more closely appressed to the neural spines of the synsacral vertebrae than is usual in psilopterines and more reminiscent of more derived phorusrhacids. |
