Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| C. Hendrickx and O. Mateus 2014 | Megalosauroid theropod with maxillae bearing fewer than eleven teeth and possessing fused interdental plates with straight ventral margin forming an interdental wall nearly coincidental with the lateral wall of the maxillary body. Differs from Torvosaurus tanneri by fewer than eleven maxillary alveoli, the absence of interdental plates terminating ventrally by broad V- shaped points and falling short relative to the lateral wall, the absence of a protuberant ridge on the anterior part of the medial shelf, posterior to the anteromedial process, and the coincidental posterior extension of the dorsal and medial ridges of the anteromedial process. |
