A new paper:
Zechuan Zhang, Qixing Dong, Tao Wang, Hailu You & Xunlian Wang (2026)
Redescription of the osteology and the systematics of Panguraptor lufengensis (Neotheropoda, Coelophysoidea)
Swiss Journal of Palaeontology 145: 723-750
doi: https://doi.org/10.3897/sjp.145.185485
https://sjp.pensoft.net/article/185485/
Panguraptor lufengensis You et al., 2014 is the first Coelophysoidea species that has been named in Asia. In previous studies, the description of the holotype lacked anatomical detail, providing insufficient information. In this research paper, the anatomy is further described, and the autapomorphic characters of P. lufengensis are re-evaluated, resulting in a diagnosis comprising six characters. Phylogenetic analysis shows that P. lufengensis is an early-branching member of the superfamily Coelophysoidea, indicating a yet to be uncovered ghost lineage of Coelophysoidea in East Asia.
