Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. Manitkoon et al. 2023Ornithischian dinosaur distinguished by a unique combination of ple- siomorphic and apomorphic characters resembling those of basal neornithischians: jugal posterior process bifurcated distally (present in Lesothosaurus, Jeholosaurus, Psittacosaurus, and some early thyreophorans including Emausaurus and Scelidosaurus); a low flattened subtriangular boss projects laterally on the surface of the jugal (report in Changchunsaurus, and some early ornithischians including Manidens and Lioceratops); the pre-caudal axial skeleton is composed of 15 dorsals and 5 sacrals (presente in Lesothosaurus, Agilisaurus and Hexinlusaurus); the brevis shelf of the ilium is visible in lateral view along its entire length (present in Agilisaurus, Sanxiasaurus and Lesothosaurus); a distinct supraacetabular flange is present on the pubic peduncle of the ilium (present in Agilisaurus, Sanxiasaurus, and some early thyreophorans including Scutellosaurus and Scelidosaurus).
