Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
B. Sánchez-Hernández and M. J. Benton 2014A ceratosaur (see Discussion) with the following two autapomorphies: extremely broad tibia proximal end, with ratio of anteroposterior/mediolateral axis of 2.8 (the highest of any theropod); tibia with a central narrow deep longitudinal groove placed anterolaterally to the crista fibularis on the medial surface which gives a g-shaped cross-section to the tibial shaft. Other characters include the chevron with a deep broad longitudinal groove along the length of the shaft arising from a fossa placed below the haemal canal on the anterior and posterior side; presence of an articular surface on the distal end of the chevron blade; caudal vertebrae with articular surfaces that have well developed edges and are unusually broad
