Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. Kessler and I. Horváth 2023an early ancestor of cormorants with less specialised subfamily characters. Also lacking the medio-lateral distortion of the distal epiphysis, indicative of the members of the clade, which also gives the shape of the sulcus extensorius and pons tendineus:
– the sulcus extensorius (a) is wide and extends under the bridge in the middle of the epiphysis;
– the pons tendineus (b) is almost straight, quite wide, distalolaterally slightly oblique;
– the opening of the canalis extensoius (c) is wide;
– tuberculum retinaculi m. fibularis (d) slightly prominent;
– condylus medialis (e) and condylus lateralis (f) nearly equal in size;
– incisura intercondylaris (g) is wide and deep in distal view.
