• “Euronychodon” portucalensis - known only from teeth, probably from a troodontid.<br />

• Itemirus medullaris - Known initially from an isolated braincase similar <strong>to</strong> that of Velocirap<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

Additional skele<strong>to</strong>ns have yet <strong>to</strong> be described but are reported <strong>to</strong> approach<br />

Utahrap<strong>to</strong>r in size (Sues & Averianov, 2004).<br />

• Ornithodesmus cluniculus - known from a synsacrum.<br />

• “Paronychodon” caperatus - known only from teeth, probably troodontid.<br />

• Paronychodon lacustris- known only from teeth, probably troodontid.<br />

• Pectinodon bakkeri - known only from teeth which are indistinguishable from Troodon<br />

formosus but much later in time.<br />

• Pyrorap<strong>to</strong>r olympius - known from teeth <strong>and</strong> fragmentary foot, wing bones, <strong>and</strong> vertebrae.<br />

• Richardoestesia gilmorei - teeth, possibly from a species of microrap<strong>to</strong>rians.<br />

• Richardoestesia isosceles - teeth, possibly from a species of microrap<strong>to</strong>rians.<br />

• “Saurornithoides” asiamericanus - Known from teeth that differ from Troodon formosus<br />

in having flatter sides <strong>and</strong> larger serrations with narrow bases.<br />

• Saurornitholestes robustus - known from a skull fragment which cannot be relaibly<br />

distinguished from <strong>other</strong> ornithodesmid remains.<br />

• Tochisaurus nemegtensis - known from metatarsals, probably troodontid.<br />

• Urbacodon itemirensis - teeth <strong>and</strong> skeletal fragments. Probably troodontid.<br />

• Zapsalis abradens - teeth, possibly from small or juvenile dromaeosaurines.<br />

Enantiornitheans<br />

• Abavornis bonaparti - known from a partial coracoid.<br />

• Alexornis antecedens - known from a partial wing <strong>and</strong> <strong>other</strong> fragments.<br />

• Avisaurus gloriae - known from a tarsometatarsus.<br />

• Catenoleimus anachoretus - known from a partial coracoid.<br />

• “Cathayornis” caudatus - dubious species probably synonymous with a contemporary.<br />

• Enantiornis leali - known only from wing bones, it is probably synonymous with Lectavis<br />

bretincola, known only from leg bones.<br />

• Dalingheornis liweii - known from a juvenile specimen <strong>and</strong> probably synonymous<br />

with a contemporary. The supposed long, unfused tail is a juvenile characteristic (as<br />

in Zhongornis) <strong>and</strong> the reported zygodactyl foot may an artifact of preservation.<br />

• Elsornis keni - known from wing bones, the proportions indicate these were the only<br />

known flightless enantiornitheans.<br />

• Explorornis nessovi - known from a partial coracoid.<br />

• Explorornis walkeri - known from a partial coracoid.<br />

• Flexomornis howei - known from a partial wing <strong>and</strong> <strong>other</strong> fragments.<br />

• Gurilynia nessovi - known from a partial humerus <strong>and</strong> coracoid.<br />

• “Ichthyornis” minusculus - known from a single verteba.<br />

• Incolornis martini - known from a partial coracoid.<br />

• Incolornis silvae - known from a partial coracoid.<br />

• Kizylkumavis cretacea - known from a partial humerus.<br />

• Lenesornis maltshevskyi - known from a partial sacrum.<br />

• Liaoxiornis delicatus - known from hatchling specimens, probably synonymous with<br />

a contemporary.<br />

• Martinavis cruzyensis - known from an isolated humerus.<br />

• Martinavis minor - known from a partial humerus.<br />

• Martinavis saltariensis - known from a humerus, probably synonymous with an<strong>other</strong><br />

Lecho formation species.<br />
