Othnielosaurus consors (Galton, 2006) > Laosaurus consors (Marsh, 1894)
Laosaurus consors (Marsh,1894) closely resembles Hypsilophodon in the structure of the postcranial skeleton (Galton and Jensen, 1973; as Nanosaurus rex but little about its skull is presently known. It differs from Hypsilophodon in the greater depth of the cleft between the greater and lesser trochanters of the femur and in the more proximal position of the obturator process on the ischium.
