| 英文摘要 | The dromaeosaurid Linheraptor exquisitus was named in 2010 based on a nearly complete skeleton recovered from the Upper Cretaceous Wulansuhai Formation at the Gate Locality, in Bayan Mandahu, western Nei Mongol, China. However, three recent studies regarded L. exquisitus as a subjective junior synonym of Tsaagan mangas, a dromaeosaurid from the Upper Cretaceous Djadokhta Formation of the Ukhaa Tolgod locality, Mongolia. Here we refute this synonymy based on 61 morphological features that distinguish L. exquisitus from T. mangas. Many of these features are based on new observations from previously unprepared areas of the L. exquisitus holotype, most notably from the left lateral side of the skull. These observations underscore and strengthen our original taxonomic separation of L. exquisitus and T. mangas. Evidence from L. exquisitus points to an unexpectedly complex distribution of derived osteological features amongst dromaeosaurids, because this species possesses features that were previously identified as autapomorphies of T. mangas or indeed of various other dromaeosaurids. Our review demonstrates that the proposed synonymy between L. exquisitus and T. mangas ignores many subtle morphological variations. Increased taxonomic sampling breaks down seemingly obvious diagnostic differences into more subtle morphological variations, which are potentially of great importance for fine-scale phylogenetic analyses. Rigorous quantitative methods using continuous data represent a promising way to exploit this type of information in future systematic studies. |
