| R. M. Casamiquela 1975 | Coeluria muy afín a Compsognathus, del que se separa – según lo conocido – por la morfología del íleon, muy largo, y su relación de tamaño con el isquión, relativamente más corto. [Coeluria very close to Compsognathus, from which it is separated – according to what is known – by the morphology of the ilium, very long, and its size relationship to the ischium, relatively shorter.] |
