trochanter has been damaged, but it is located in approximately the 

 same position as in Eumctopias ; the greater trochanter is much less 

 robust. 



The shaft of the femur has a noticeable lateral curvature on the 



inner face towards the proximal end and possesses also a conspicuous 



mediad curvature on the outer face, while the distal end of the shaft 



is abruptly expanded at the epicondyles. In these respects this femur 



resembles the otarid type.
