Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. Osi et al. 2010Differs from all other coronosaurian ceratopsians in the following character combination (* indicates autapomorphies): (1) large oval accessory fenestra are present between the premaxilla and maxilla, with the nasal excluded from its margin; (2*) the part of the premaxilla ventral to the external naris and the accessory fenestra is dorsoventrally shallow relative to its rostrocaudal length; (3*) the caudolateral process of the premaxilla is curved along its length becoming nearly horizontal caudally; (4*) the buccal margins of the predentary are sharp and not bevelled.
