Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. E. Jasinski et al. 2020A mid-sized dromaeosaurid theropod that differs from other eudromaeosaurs by the following characters: offset of lateral grooves on manual ungual; distinct and conspicuous dorsomedial groove proximally dorsal to the articular surface on the manual ungual; sharp angle of distal deltopectoral crest of the humerus; opisthocoelous proximal caudal vertebrae; short and robust neural spines on proximal caudal vertebrae; gracile and subrectangular transverse processes on proximal caudal vertebrae; proximal caudal vertebrae with curved ventral surface and oval to subrectangular cranial and caudal centrum surfaces; distinct round concavities on cranial and caudal centrum surfaces in mid-caudal vertebrae; enlarged flexor tubercles on manual ungual II and pedal ungual III; and secondary lateral grooves ventral on pedal unguals.
