Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| S. L. Olson and H. F. James 1991 | Much smaller than Grallistrix auceps or G. geleches (Table 4). Most similar to G. orion but limb elements more gracile; proportions of hindlimb differ in that the femur in G. erdmani is shorter, whereas the tarsometatarsus is longer and more slender than in G. orion (Fig. 29). The shaft of the humerus is more slender and curved (Fig. 26). |
