Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| X. Xu et al. 2012 | A gigantic tyrannosauroid distinguishable from other tyrannosauroids by the unique presence of a rugose, highly fenestrated midline crest formed by the premaxillae and nasals, an anteroventrally projecting orbital process in the area of the junction between the frontal and jugal processes of the postorbital, a large concavity on the lateral surface of the main body of the postorbital, and an external mandibular fenestra located mostly within the surangular. Also differs from Sinotyrannus in that the morphologically lateral surface of the maxillary process of the premaxilla faces dorsally, the maxilla lacks an anterior ramus, the maxillary fenestra is posteriorly positioned, the antorbital fossa has a posteroventrally sloping ventral margin, and the ilium has a straight dorsal margin and a postacetabular process whose ventral margin bears a lobe-like flange. |
