Sinornithosaurus millenii

Reptilia - Dromaeosauridae

Taxonomy

Sinornithosaurus millenii was named by Xu et al. (1999). Its type specimen is IVPP V.12811, a skeleton, and it is a compression preserving soft parts. Its type locality is Sihetun, lower Yixian (general), which is in a Barremian/Aptian lacustrine shale/siltstone in the Yixian Formation of China.

Synonyms

Sinornithosaurus haoiana was named by Liu et al. (2004). Its type specimen is D2140, a skeleton, and it is a compression fossil. Its type locality is Baicaigou, Toutai, which is in a Barremian/Aptian lacustrine shale/mudstone in the Yixian Formation of China.

It was synonymized subjectively with Sinornithosaurus millenii by Turner et al. (2012).

Diagnosis

Reference	Diagnosis
J. Liu et al. 2004 (Sinornithosaurus haoiana)	It can be distinguished from S. millenii in that: (1) the main body of the premaxilla is higher, its length being slightly longer than its height; (2) the anterior margin of the premaxilla is vertical; (3) the maxillary process of the premaxilla is very lon; (4) the maxilla is separated from external naris; (5) maxillary fenestra is circular and relatively small; (6) the ascending process ofquadratojugal is remarkably longer than the jugal process; (7) the ratio of the dentary length/height is distinctly small; and (8) the pubic peduncle of ilium is longitudinally narrower than acetabulum and so on.
