Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. J. Butler et al. 2008Six premaxillary teeth; foramina present on dorsal surface of nasal; large foramen present in quadratojugal; predentary about 1.5 times as long as the premaxilla; pedal phalanx 3–4 times longer than other phalanges of pedal digit 3.
P. M. Barrett and F.-L. Han 2009(cranial features only: after Xu et al. 2000; Butler et al. 2008). One autapomorphy and a unique combination of character states support the validity of Jeholosaurus. Autapomorphy: presence of a row of small foramina on the lateral surface of the nasal immediately dorsal to the premaxillary articulation. Unique combination of character states: six premaxillary teeth (distinct from all other cerapodans, but present in Lesothosaurus and some ankylosaurs); presence of a foramen enclosed within the quadratojugal (distinct from all ornithischians except Hypsilophodon and Tenontosaurus); combined presence of nodular ornamentation on the postorbital and jugal (distinct from all ornithopods and non-cerapodan ornithischians, but also present in pachycephalosaurs, Archaeoceratops and Yinlong); and jugal caudal process bifurcated distally (distinct from all cerapodans except Psittacosaurus, but present in some early ornithischians including Emausaurus, Lesothosaurus and Scelidosaurus).
