Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
X. Wang et al. 2023Maniraptoran theropod differing from other taxa except Fukuivenator paradoxus in having a discoidal distal carpal 1 capping exclusively metacarpal I (unknown in F. paradoxus); a sharp proximolateral flange on the ventral surface of metacarpal I, a manual phalanx II-1 with a lateroventral ridge (convergent with some paravians); manual ungual II dorsoventrally shallower but proximodistally longer than manual ungual I, and distinct from manual unguals I and III in having a prominent proximodorsal lip and the dorsal margin arched well above the level of the articular facet when the latter is oriented vertically. Migmanychion differs from Fuikuivenator in having: gracile metacarpal I more than four times longer than distally wide and narrower than metacarpal II (it is the most robust metacarpal in F. paradoxus); very gracile metacarpal III being no more than 40% of metacarpal II at mid-shaft (55% in F. paradoxus); flexor tubercles of all manual unguals distally displaced relative to proximal articular facet of ungual (in F. paradoxus, the flexor tubercle of ungual I is confluent with the ungual proximal end); manual ungual II with the dorsal margin arched well above the level of the articular facet when the latter is oriented vertically; manual ungual III half the size of manual ungual II (in F. paradoxus, ungual III is >80% the size of ungual II).
