Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. N. Martinez and C. Apaldetti 2017Basal neotheropod dinosaur diagnosed according to the following combination of apomorphies (autapomorphies with asterisk): cervical neural arches with a series of three deep fossae, two blind pockets located within the prezygapophyseal centrodiapophyseal fossa, and the third, communicating with the internal cavity of the neural arch, located within the centropostzygapophyseal fossa; anteroposteriorly elongated fossa on the edge of the posterior centrodiapophyseal lamina that progressively increases in depth and size from C3 to C9*; length of the anterior cervical ribs equivalent to five cervical centra.
