Info

Genus

Elopteryx nopcsai (Andrews, 1913 vide Le Loeuff, Buffetaut, Mechin & Mechin-Salessy, 1992) > Bradycneme draculae (Harrison & Walker, 1975)

Le Leouff et al., 1992 showed that Bradycneme is a junior synonym of Elopteryx nopcsai. However, Elopteryx is based on two proximal femora that cannot be compared to the distal tibiotarsus of Bradycneme.
