Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| W. E. Boles 2005 | Gallinula disneyi is distinguished from other species of the genus by the following suite of humeral characters. It agrees with G. mortierii, and differs from other species, by having the proximal end round rather than elongate proximodistally (in posterior view); it is broader than in G. hodgenorum. The tuberculum ventrale is situated distal to the tuberculum dorsale, and is more pronounced than in G. mortierii. The crista deltopectoralis is short distally; it is more produced anteriorly compared to G. hodgenorum. The crista bicipitalis is short distally, joining the shaft more abruptly; ventrally it is rounder than in G. mortierii and more produced anteriorly than in G. hodgenorum. The condylus lateralis is thinner, not bulbous distally, and does not extend to the lateral margin of the bone (in anterior view). The tuberculum supracondylare is narrow, not round. Compared to that of G. hodgenorum the condylus dorsalis does not extend as far either distally or dorsally, relative to the shaft, and the fossa olecrani is shallower with less sharply defined edges. |
