Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. M. Báez et al. 2021 | Xenoanuran pipimorph frog based on the presence of an azygous frontoparietal, long metapodials, and skull with proportionally short antorbital region. It differs from all other known pipimorphs in the following unique combination of characters: frontoparietal with raised dorsal table; separate nasals; incomplete dentate maxillary arches with long preorbital processes formed by the pars facialis; ossified tympanic annulus; squamosal bearing acuminate zygomatic process; elongate stapes with small footplate; eight presacral vertebrae; atlas and first postatlantal vertebra not fused (at least dorsally); vertebrae II, III, and IV bearing transverse processes, those on vertebrae III and IV long and posteriorly arched; more posterior vertebrae (VIeVIII) bearing anteriorly curved transverse processes; sacrum formed by vertebra IX and bearing moderately expanded sacral diapophyses with slightly convex lateral margins; sacrum not fused to urostyle; cleithrum V-shaped with anterior prong longer than posterior; humerus bearing deltoid crest along anterior two thirds of diaphysis; ilium with distally expanded shaft and well-developed, nearly symmetrical, wide-based dorsal prominence; femur slightly shorter than tibio-fibular; tibiale-fibulare robust and shorter than one-half tibiofibula length and also than the longest metatarsal (III); prehallux with conical terminal component; slender pedal phalanges of digits III, IV, and V, the terminal ones delicate, long, and distally pointed. |
