Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. B. J. Benson 2008S. langhami differs from S. clevelandi in that the median ridge of the ilium is narrower and does not continue as far toward the perimeter of the blade, and a swollen ridge is not present around the pubic peduncle. It also possesses the following ambiguous autapomorphies based on material that is not known for S. clevelandi: prominent hyposphene of fifth sacral vertebra; ischial apron with ‘folded’ appearance; fibular flange continues as distinct low ridge to proximal end of tibia; and reduced and dorsally raised postzygapophyses on last dorsal vertebra.
