Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. O. Averianov and H.-D. Sues 2022Differs from other known alvarezsaurids by the
combination of the following features: posterior dorsal vertebrae
opisthocoelous, without infrapostzygapophyseal fossae; posterior
caudal vertebrae procoelous, with longitudinal canal within
neural arch; humerus with small internal tuberosity, similar-sized
radial and ulnar condyles, and distally protruding radial condyle;
ulna with hypertrophied olecranon process, globular carpal tro-
chlea, and facet for aponeurosis tubercle of radius; carpometacar-
pus with articular surface of metacarpal III in line with distal
articular joints of metacarpal II; manual phalanx II-1 with similarly
developed flexor ridges and lacking of dorsolateral process;
manual ungual phalanx II-2 with flexor sulcus and collateral
grooves either partially open, forming notches, or enclosed by
bony margin, forming ventral foramina; pubis with preacetabular
tubercle; arctometatarsalian pes; metatarsal II with posterolateral
flange; pedal phalanx IV-1 with protruding proximomedial
process, proximoventral notch, and asymmetrical distal condyles;
and pedal ungual phalanges with small flexor tubercles.
