Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. K. O'Connor et al. 2011Small to medium−sized enantiornithine birds with the rostral portion of the skull equal to, or exceeding, 60% the total skull length; premaxilla with elongate imperforate rostral end with parallel dorsal and ventral margins; dorsal surface of premaxilla with slight concavity just rostral to the nasal processes; dentition restricted to the premaxilla and rostral−most portion of the dentary; coracoid with nearly straight lateral margin; pygostyle approaches or exceeds tarsometatarsus in length; trochleae of metatarsals II and IV extends beyond proximal surface of metatarsal III trochlea.
