Diagnosis

Reference	Diagnosis
P. M. Galton 2012	Ctenosauriscid with four sacral ribs: the iliac attachment area for rib 1 extends to the end of the anterior process and superiorly to reach the dorsal edge, as do ribs 2 and 3, whereas rib 4 attaches only to the medially facing dorsal edge of the posterior process, the shallow C-shaped end of which is subhorizontal with the outer surface facing dorsally and slightly laterally.
