SELECT MEASUREMENTS FOR XIONGGUANLONG BAIMOENSIS ELEMENT LENGTH MEASUREMENT IN MM Skull, left (premaxilla-quadrate) 504 Axis 44 Cervical 3 43 Cervical 4 46 Cervical 5 51 Cervical 6 52 Cervical 7 60 Cervical 8 60 Cervical 9 67 Cervical Dorsal 1 62 Dorsal 2 53 Dorsal 3 58 Dorsal 4 55 Dorsal 5 60 Dorsal 6 58 Dorsal 7 56 Dorsal 9 55 Dorsal femoral length 510 femoral circumference at midshaft CHARACTER LIST USED FOR PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS. The character list represents an expansion of a recent version of the TWIG matrix from Turner et al. (2007). Forty-one new characters (chars ) were added to help resolve relationships within Tyrannosauroidea, Ornithomimosauria and between basal coelurosaur and tetanuran taxa added to the matrix to better establish the position and taxonomic content of Tyrannosauroidea. Many of these characters are widely used in theropod systematics, and citations, when present, do not always reflect the first description or use of a particular trait for systematic purposes.

3 CHARACTER LIST Integument 1. Vaned feathers on forelimb symmetric (0) or asymmetric (1). The barbs on opposite sides of the rachis differ in length; in extant birds, the barbs on the leading edge of flight feathers are shorter than those on the trailing edge. Skull 2. Orbit round in lateral or dorsolateral view (0) or dorsoventrally elongate (1). It is improbable that the eye occupied the entire orbit of those taxa in which it is keyhole shaped. 3. Anterior process of postorbital projects into orbit (0) or does not project into orbit (1). 4. Postorbital in lateral view with straight anterior (frontal) process (0) or frontal process curves anterodorsally and dorsal border of temporal bar is dorsally concave (1). 5. Postorbital bar parallels quadrate, lower temporal fenestra rectangular in shape (0) or jugal and postorbital approach or contact quadratojugal to constrict lower temporal fenestra (1). 6. Otosphenoidal crest vertical on basisphenoid and prootic, and does not border an enlarged pneumatic recess (0) or well developed, crescent shaped, thin crest forms anterior edge of enlarged pneumatic recess (1). This structure forms the anterior, and most distinct, border of the lateral depression of the middle ear region (Currie, 1985; Currie and Zhao, 1993) of troodontids and some extant avians. 7. Crista interfenestralis confluent with lateral surface of prootic and opisthotic (0) or distinctly depressed within middle ear opening (1). 8.

Basisphenoid recess present between basisphenoid and basioccipital (0) or entirely within basisphenoid (1) or absent (2). 10. Posterior opening of basisphenoid recess single (0) or divided into two small, circular foramina by a thin bar of bone (1). 11. Base of cultriform process not highly pneumatized (0) or base of cultriform process (parasphenoid rostrum) expanded and pneumatic (parasphenoid bulla present) (1). 12. Basipterygoid processes ventral or anteroventrally projecting (0) or lateroventrally projecting (1). 13. Basipterygoid processes well developed, extending as a distinct process from the base of the basisphenoid (0) or processes abbreviated or absent (1). 14.

Depression for pneumatic recess on prootic absent (0) or present as dorsally open fossa on prootic/opisthotic (1) or present as deep, posterolaterally directed concavity (2). The dorsal tympanic recess referred to here is the depression anterodorsal to the middle ear on the opisthotic, not the recess dorsal to the crista interfenestralis within the middle ear as seen in Archaeopteryx lithographica, Shuvuuia deserti and Aves. 17. Accessory tympanic recess dorsal to crista interfenestralis absent (0) small pocket present (1) or extensive with indirect pneumatization (2). According to Witmer (1990), this structure may be an extension from the caudal tympanic recess, although it has been interpreted as the main part of the caudal tympanic recess by some previous authors. 18. Caudal (posterior) tympanic recess absent (0) present as opening on anterior surface of paroccipital process (1) or extends into opisthotic posterodorsal to fenestra ovalis, confluent with this fenestra (2). 19. Exits of C. N. X-XII flush with surface of exoccipital (0) or cranial nerve exits located together in a bowl-like depression (1). 20. Maxillary process of premaxilla contacts nasal to form posterior border of nares (0) or maxillary process reduced so that maxilla participates broadly in external naris (1) or maxillary process of premaxilla extends posteriorly to separate maxilla from nasal posterior to nares (2). 21. Internarial bar rounded (0) or flat (1). 22. Crenulate margin on buccal edge of premaxilla absent (0) or present (1). Only applies in taxa with edentulous premaxilla. 23.

Redefined by Makovicky et al., Palatal shelf of maxilla flat (0) or with midline ventral tooth-like projection (1).

4 27. Pronounced, round accessory antorbital fenestra absent (0) or present, fenestra occupies less than half of the depressed area between the anterior margins of the antorbital fossa and antorbital fenestra (1), or present, fenestra large and takes up most of the space between the anterior margins of the antorbital fenestra and fossa (2).

Jugal and quadratojugal separate (0) or quadratojugal and jugal fused and not distinguishable from one another (1). 37. Supraorbital crests on lacrimal in adult individuals absent (0) or dorsal crest above orbit (1) or dorsal crest present and surmounted by cornual process (2). State 2 derived from Carr et al. (2005) who identified distinct corneal process in derived tyrannosaurids. 38. Enlarged foramen or foramina opening laterally at the angle of the lacrimal above antorbital fenestra absent (0) or present (1). 39.

Currie (1995) suggests the interdental plates of dromaeosaurids are present but fused to the medial surface of the dentary, whereas they are absent in troodontids. In the absence of a definitive, non-destructive method for parsing

6 between fusion/ loss we do not recognize this distinction, and code all taxa that lack distinct interdental plates with State In cross section, premaxillary tooth crowns sub-oval to sub-circular (0) or asymmetrical (D-shaped in cross section) with flat lingual surface (1) or highly asymmetrical, with labial length significantly longer than lingual length, and slightly raised lingual midline (2). Ordered. State 2 is observed in tyrannosaurids, Appalachiosaurus, and Xiongguanlong, and is here considered to represent a specialized condition derived from state 1. Axial skeleton 92.

Cervical neural spines anteroposteriorly long (0) or short and centered on neural arch, giving arch an X shape in dorsal view (1)(Makovicky and Sues, 1998) Cervical centra with one pair of pneumatic openings (0) or with two pairs of pneumatic openings (1) (Gauthier, 1986) Cervical and anterior trunk vertebrae amphiplatyan (0) or opisthocoelous (1) or heterocoelous (2) Anterior trunk vertebrae without prominent hypapophyses (0) or with large hypapophyses (1)(Gauthier, 1986) Parapophyses of posterior trunk vertebrae flush with neural arch (0) or distinctly projected on pedicels (1) (Norell and Makovicky, 1999) Hyposphene-hypantrum articulations in trunk vertebrae absent (0) or present (1) Zygapophyses of trunk vertebrae abutting one another above neural canal, opposite hyposphenes meet to form lamina (0), or zygapohyses placed lateral to neural canal and separated by groove for interspinuous ligaments, hyposphenes separated (1) Cervical vertebrae but not dorsal vertebrae pneumatic (0) or all presacral vertebrae pneumatic (1) Transverse processes of anterior dorsal vertebrae long and thin (0) or short, wide, and only slightly inclined (1) Neural spines of dorsal vertebrae not expanded distally (0) or expanded to form spine table (1) Scars for interspinous ligaments terminate at apex of neural spine in dorsal vertebrae (0) or terminate below apex of neural spine (1) Number of sacral vertebrae: 5 or less (0) or 6 (1) or 7 (2) or 8 (3) or 9 (4). [NEW STATES ADDED]. Additional states added to reflect diversity within added avialans Sacral vertebrae with unfused zygapophyses (0) or with fused zygapophyses forming a sinuous ridge in dorsal view (1) Ventral surface of posterior sacral centra gently rounded, convex (0) or ventrally flattened, sometimes with shallow sulcus (1) or centrum strongly constricted transversely, ventral surface keeled (2). Note that in Alvarezsaurus calvoi it is only the fifth sacral that is keeled, unlike other alvarezsaurids (Novas, 1997) Pleurocoels absent on sacral vertebrae (0) or present on anterior sacrals only (1) or present on all sacrals (2) Last sacral centrum with flat posterior articulation surface (0) or convex articulation surface (1) Caudal vertebrae with distinct transition point (Russell,1972), from caudals with long transverse processes proximally to vertebrae with small or no transverse processes distally (0) or vertebrae relatively homogeneous in shape, transverse processes persisting throughout all or most of caudal series (1) Transition point in caudal series begins distal to the 10th caudal (0) or between the 7 th and 10th caudal vertebra (1) or proximal to the 7 th caudal vertebra (2). A second state for having the transition point proximal to the 6 th vertebra was added specifically to test the purported avialan relationships of Rahonavis Anterior caudal centra tall, oval in cross section (0) or with box-like centra in caudals I-V (1) or anterior caudal centra laterally compressed with ventral keel (2). Modified from Gauthier (1986).

7 118. Neural spines of caudal vertebrae simple, undivided (0) or separated into anterior and posterior alae throughout much of caudal sequence (1)(Russell and Dong, 1993) Neural spines on distal caudals form a low ridge (0) or spine absent (1) or midline sulcus in center of neural arch (2)(Russell and Dong, 1993) Prezygapophyses of distal caudal vertebrae between 1/3 and whole centrum length (0) or with extremely long extensions of the prezygapophyses (up to 10 vertebral segments long in some taxa) (1) or strongly reduced as in Archaeopteryx lithographica (2) More than 40 caudal vertebrae (0) or caudal vertebrae (1) or no more than 25 caudal vertebrae (2) or very short, fused into pygostyle (2) Proximal end of chevrons of proximal caudals short anteroposteriorly, shaft cylindrical or narrow blade (0) or proximal end elongate anteroposteriorly, flattened and plate-like (1) Distal caudal chevrons anteriorly bifurcate (0) or bifurcate at both ends (1) Shaft of cervical ribs slender and longer than vertebra to which they articulate (0) or broad and shorter than vertebra (1) Ossified uncinate processes absent (0) or present (1) Ossified ventral (sternal) rib segments absent (0) or present (1) Lateral gastral segment shorter than medial one in each arch (0) or distal segment longer than proximal segment (1) Ossified sternal plates separate in adults (0) or fused (1) Sternum without distinct lateral xiphoid process posterior to costal margin (0) or with lateral xiphoid process (1) Anterior edge of sternum grooved for reception of coracoids (0) or sternum without grooves (1) Articular facet of coracoid on sternum (conditions may be determined by the articular facet on coracoid in taxa without ossified sternum): anterolateral or more lateral than anterior (0); almost anterior (1)(Xu et al., 1999). Pectoral Girdle 132. Hypocleideum on furcula absent (0) or present (1). The hypocleideum is a process extending from the ventral midline of the furcula, and is attached to the sternum by a ligament in extant birds. Although a number of taxa such as advanced tyrannosaurids display a slight midline ridge (Makovicky and Currie, 1998), this is considered state 0 here. Only a well-developed process as occurs in e.g. Oviraptor is considered state 1 in our analysis. This distinction is made because we deem this parsing of states to be more consistently scorable across taxa and between investigators, whereas deciding when a low ridge as in e.g. Buitreraptor or Gorgosaurus or a small tuber as in Velociraptor should be coded as a hypocleideum seems to invite more controversy Acromion margin of scapula continuous with blade in rostral aspect (0) or anterior edge laterally everted relative to plane of scapular blade(1) Posterolateral surface of coracoid ventral to glenoid fossa unexpanded (0) or posterolateral edge of coracoid expanded to form triangular subglenoid fossa bounded laterally by enlarged coracoid tuber (1) Scapula and coracoid separate (0) or fused into scapulacoracoid (1) Coracoid in lateral view subcircular, with shallow ventral blade (0) or subquadrangular with extensive ventral blade (1) or shallow ventral blade with elongate posteroventral process (2) or strut -like (3) Scapula and coracoid form a continuous arc in posterior and anterior views (0) or coracoid inflected medially, scapulocoracoid L shaped in lateral view (1) Glenoid fossa faces posteriorly or posterolaterally (0) or laterally (1) Scapula longer than humerus (0) or humerus longer than scapula (1). Forelimb 140. Deltopectoral crest large and distinct, proximal end of humerus quadrangular in anterior view (0) or deltopectoral crest less pronounced, forming an arc rather than being quadrangular (1) or deltopectoral crest very weakly developed, proximal end of humerus with rounded edges (2) or deltopectoral crest extremely long and rectangular (3) or proximal end of humerus extremely broad, triangular in anterior view (4) Anterior surface of deltopectoral crest smooth (0) or with distinct muscle scar near lateral edge along distal end of crest for insertion of biceps muscle(1) Olecranon process weakly developed (0) or distinct and large (1) Distal articular surface of ulna flat (0) or convex, spherical surface (1).

8 144. Proximal surface of ulna a single continuous articular facet (0) or divided into two distinct fossae (one convex, the other concave) separated by a median ridge (1) Lateral proximal carpal (ulnare?) quadrangular (0) or triangular in proximal view (1). The homology of the carpal elements of coelurosaurs is unclear (see, e.g., (Padian and Chiappe, 1998)), but the large, triangular lateral element of some taxa most likely corresponds to the lateral proximal carpal of basal tetanurans Two recognizable distal carpals in contact with metacarpals, one covering the base of metacarpal I (and perhaps contacting metacarpal II) the other covering p\art or all of the base of metacarpal II (0) or a single principal distal carpal present, capping metacarpals I and some or all of II or alternatively covering Mcs II and III(1). In review of material of Coelurus (YPM 2010) and various therizinosauroids (Zanno, in press), it appears that they have a semilunate comprised of two elements that fuse in some taxa. Taxa in which the two elements are fused but the contact between them is still discernible such as Allosaurus (Chure 2001) and Falcarius (Zanno, in press), are recognized as state 0. Huaxiagnathus is scored as unknown, because the small element recognized by Hwang et al as the ulnare is similar in proportions and position to the DCII of Allosaurus Distal carpals not fused to metacarpals (0) or fused to metacarpals, forming carpometacarpus (1) Large principal distal carpal well developed, covering all of proximal ends of metacarpals I and II (0) or small, covers base of metacarpal I and about half of II (1) or shifted to cover metacarpals II and III (3). In modern birds, the principal distal carpal covers MC II and MC III. EXCLUDED - INACTIVE 149. Metacarpal I half or less than half the length of metacarpal II, and longer proximodistally than wide transversely (0) or subequal in length to metacarpal II (1) or very short and wider transversely than long proximodistally (2) Third manual digit present, phalanges present (0) or reduced to no more than metacarpal splint (1) Manual unguals strongly curved, with large flexor tubercles (0) or weakly curved with weak flexor tubercles displaced distally from articular end (1) or straight with weak flexor tubercles displaced distally from articular end (2) Unguals on all digits generally similar in size (0) or digit I bearing large ungual and unguals of other digits distinctly smaller (1) Proximodorsal lip on some manual unguals - a transverse ridge immediately dorsal to the articulating surface - absent (0) or present (1). In Velociraptor mongoliensis and Deinonychus antirrhopus a lip is present, contrary to previous contentions. Pelvic Girdle 154. Ventral edge of anterior ala of ilium straight or gently curved (0) or ventral edge with shallow, obtuse process (1) or process strongly hooked (2). Ordered. State 2 is observed in ornithomimids but not basal ornithomimosaurs, and represents a derived subset of State 1 for which the ventral process is especially elongate and recurved Preacetabular part of ilium roughly as long as postacetabular part of ilium (0) or preacetabular portion of ilium markedly longer (more than 2/3 of total ilium length) than postacetabular part (1) Anterior end of ilium gently rounded or straight (0) or anterior end strongly convex, lobate (1) or pointed at anterodorsal corner with concave anteroventral edge (2) or distinctly concave dorsally (3). [new state added based on Rauhut, 2003: char 173] 157. Supraacetabular crest on ilium as a separate process from antitrochanter, forms hood over femoral head present (0) reduced, not forming hood (1) or absent (2) Postacetabular ala of ilium in lateral view squared (0) or acuminate (1) Postacetabular blades of ilia in dorsal view subparallel (0) or diverge posteriorly (1) Tuber along dorsal edge of ilium, dorsal or slightly posterior to acetabulum absent (0) or present (1) Brevis fossa shelf-like (0) or deeply concave with lateral overhang (1) Antitrochanter posterior to acetabulum absent or poorly developed (0) or prominent (1) Ridge bounding cuppedicus fossa terminates rostral to acetabulum or curves ventrally onto anterior face of pubic peduncle (0), or rim extends far posteriorly and is confluent or almost confluent with acetabular rim (1) Cuppedicus fossa deep, ventrally concave (0) or fossa shallow or flat, with little or no lateral overhang (1) or absent (2). See (Hutchinson, 2001b) for explanation of related changes in pelvic musculature Posterior edge of ischium straight (0) or with proximal median posterior process (1) Ishium with rodlike shaft [i.e. part distal to acetabular portion](0) or with wide, flat, and plate-like shaft (1) Added by Makovicky et al., 2005.

9 167. Ischiadic shaft roughly straight or only gently arced(0) or ventrodistally recurved anteriorly (1) or hooked posteriorly with deeply concave caudal margin(2) Redefined by Makovicky et al., Lateral face of ischiadic blade flat [or round in rodlike ischia] (0) or laterally concave (1) or with longitudinal ridge subdividing lateral surface into anterior (including obturator process) and posterior parts (2). Some dromaeosaurids have a sharp ridge (i.e. Sinornithosaurus and Buitreraptor) whereas in others, the ridge is beveled and forms a slight medial flexure of the obturator process (e.g. Velociraptor and Deinonychus). We consider these to be homologous. New character added by Makovicky et al., Obturator process of ischium or proximal in position (1) or located near middle of ischiadic shaft (2) or located at distal end of ischium (3). In taxa with an ischiadic obturator foramen instead of a notch, the obturator process (homologous to bony area bounding ventral part of obturator foramen) is considered as being proximal 170. Obturator process does not contact pubis (0) or contacts pubis (1). Refers to the condition in some therizinosauroids, not the primitive archosaur condition Ishchial obturator foramen present (0) or reduced to notch (1) or notch or foramen absent, U shaped gap between pubic peduncle and obturator process (2) Scar on caudal edge of the proximal end of the ischium, absent (0) or present (1).(Holtz, 1994) 173. Ischium more than two-thirds (0) or two-thirds or less of pubis length (1) Distal ends of ischia form symphysis (0) or approach one another but do not form symphysis (1) or widely separated (2) Ischial boot (expanded distal end) present (0) or absent (1) Tubercle on anterior edge of ischium absent (0) or present (1). A small tubercle occurring along the rostral edge of the ischium between the pubic peduncle and obturator process was described in Velociraptor (Norell and Makovicky, 1997) and is also present in Deinonychus. Hutchinson,(2001b) termed this structure the obturator tuberosity Pubis propubic (0) or pubis vertical (1) or pubis posteriorly oriented (opisthopubic) (2). The oviraptorid condition, in which the proximal end of the pubis is vertical and the distal end curves anteriorly, is considered to be state Pubic boot projects anteriorly and posteriorly (0) or with little or no anterior process (1) or no anteroposterior projections (2) Shelf on pubic shaft proximal to symphysis ( pubic apron ) extends medially from middle of cylindrical pubic shaft (0) or shelf extends medially from anterior edge of anteroposteriorly flattened shaft (1) Pubic shaft straight (0) or distal end curves anteriorly, anterior surface of shaft concave (1) or shaft curves posteriorly, anteriorly convex curvature (2). See also (Calvo et al., 2004) Pubic apron about half of pubic shaft length (0) or less than 1/3 of shaft length (1) Contact between pubic apron contributions of both pubes meet extensively (0) contact disrupted by a slit (1) or no contact (2). Character added by Makovicky et al., Hindlimb 183. Femoral head without fovea capitalis (for attachment of capital ligament) (0) or circular fovea present in center of medial surface of head (1) Lesser trochanter separated from greater trochanter by deep cleft (0) or trochanters separated by small groove (1) or completely fused (or absent) to form a trochanteric crest (2) Lesser trochanter of femur alariform (0) or cylindrical in cross section (1) Lateral ridge absent or represented only by faint rugosity (0) or distinctly raised from shaft, mound-like (1). (Hutchinson, 2001a) clarified the terminological confusion surrounding this structure and considered it a derived homolog of the trochanteric shelf of more basal theropods and dinosauromorphs Fourth trochanter on femur present (0) or absent (1). (Gauthier, 1986) 188. Accessory trochanteric crest distal to lesser trochanter absent (0) or present (1). This character was identified as an autapomorphy of Microvenator celer (Makovicky and Sues, 1998), but it is more widespread Anterior surface of femur proximal to medial distal condyle without longitudinal crest (0) or crest present extending proximally from medial condyle on anterior surface of shaft (1) Popliteal fossa between end of femur open distally (0) or closed off distally by contact between distal condyles (1) Fibula reaches proximal tarsals (0) or short, tapering distally, and not in contact with proximal tarsals (1) Medial surface of proximal end of fibula concave along long axis (0) or flat (1) Deep oval fossa on medial surface of fibula near proximal end absent (0) or present (1).

10 194. Distal end of astragalus and calcaneum with condyles separated by shallow, indefinite sulcus (0) or with distinct condyles separated by prominent tendinal groove on anterior surface (1) Medial cnemial crest absent (0) or present on proximal end of tibia (1) Ascending process of the astragalus tall and broad, covering most of anterior surface of distal end of tibia (0) or process short and slender, covering only lateral half of anterior surface of tibia (1) or ascending process tall, but with medial notch that restricts it to lateral side of anterior face of distal tibia (2) Ascending process of astragalus confluent with condylar portion (0) or separated by transverse groove or fossa across base (1) Astragalus and calcaneum separate from tibia (0) or fused to each other and to the tibia in late ontogeny (1) Distal tarsals separate, not fused to metatarsals (0) or form metatarsal cap with intercondylar prominence that fuses to metatarsal early in postnatal ontogeny (1) Metatarsals not co-ossified (0) or co-ossification of metatarsals begins proximally (1) or distally (2) Distal end of metatarsal II smooth, not ginglymoid (0) or with developed ginglymus (1) Distal end of metatarsal III smooth, not ginglymoid (0) or with developed ginglymus (1) MT III proximal shaft prominently exposed between MT II and MT IV along entire metapodium (0) or MT III proximal shaft constricted and much narrower than either II or IV, but still exposed along most of metapodium, subarctometatarsal (1) or very pinched, not exposed along proximal section of metapodium, arctometatarsal (2) or proximal part of MT III lost, MTIII restricted to distal part of metatarsus (3). Redefined by Makovicky et al., 2005 to follow Novas and Pol (2005: their character 200) Ungual and penultimate phalanx of pedal digit II similar to those of III (0) or penultimate phalanx highly modified for extreme hyper-extension, ungual more strongly curved and significantly larger than that of digit III (1) Metatarsal I articulates with the middle of the medial surface of metatarsal II (0) or metatarsal I attaches to posterior surface of distal quarter of metatarsal II (1) or metatarsal I articulates to medial surface of metatarsal II near its proximal end (2) or metatarsal I absent (3) Metatarsal I attenuates proximally, without proximal articulating surface (0) or proximal end of metatarsal I similar to that of metatarsals II-IV (1) Shaft of MT IV round or thicker dorsoventrally than wide in cross section (0) or shaft of MT IV mediolaterally widened and flat in cross section (1) Foot symmetrical (0) or asymmetrical with slender MTII and very robust MT IV, excluding flange (1). (Senter et al., 2004) consider the foot of Sinovenator to be symmetric contra (Xu et al., 2002), but examination of the holotype as well as several referred specimens confirms that the proximal part of MT II is mediolaterally compressed while the proximal section of Metatarsal IV is broadened, reflecting an incipient stage of asymmetry. Therefore we follow Xu et al. (2002) in coding the foot of Sinovenator asymmetric (state 1). Although we acknowledge the difficulties in parsing states when characters display a more continuous range of expressions than originally defined, the asymmetric conditions is derived and the homology of even an incipient form of this state needs to be acknowledged and subjected to the test of congruence. If future discoveries reveal more taxa with the incipient condition a separate state may be warranted for it. Characters added by (Makovicky and Norell, 2004; Makovicky et al., 2003), (Novas, 2004), (Novas and Pol, 2005) and others Neural spines on posterior dorsal vertebrae in lateral view rectangular or square (0) or anteroposteriorly expanded distally, fan-shaped (1) Shaft diameter of manual phalanx I-1 less (0) or greater (1) than shaft diameter of radius Angular exposed almost to end of mandible in lateral view, reaches or almost reaches articular (0) or excluded from posterior end angular suture turns ventrally and meets ventral border of mandible rostral to glenoid (1) Laterally inclined flange along dorsal edge of surangular for articulation with lateral process of lateral quadrate condyle absent (0) or present (1) Distal articular ends of metacarpals I ginglymoid (0) ginglymous articulation reduced (1) or distal articulation spherical, smooth (2). See Kobayashi and Lü (2003) for details on this transformation in ornithomimosaurs. Ordered. Oredering is justified ad the reduced condition described in State 1 is logically intermediate between States 0 and Radius and ulna well separated (0) or with distinct adherence or syndesmosis distally (1) Jaws occlude for their full length (0) or diverge rostrally due to kink and downward deflection in dentary buccal margin (1).

11 216. Quadrate head covered by squamosal in lateral view (0) or quadrate cotyle of squamosal open laterally exposing quadrate head (1) Brevis fossa poorly developed adjacent to ischial peduncle and without lateral overhang, medial edge of brevis fossa visible in lateral view (0), or fossa well developed along full length of postacetabular blade, lateral overhang extends along full length of fossa, medial edge completely covered in lateral view (1) Vertical ridge on lateral face of lesser trochanter present (0) or absent (1). See Norell and Makovicky (1999) for illustration of this trait Supratemporal fenestra bounded laterally and posteriorly by the squamosal (0) or supratemporal fenestra extended as a fossa on to the dorsal surface of the squamosal (1) Dentary fully toothed (0) or only with teeth rostrally (1) or edentulous (2) Posterior edge of coracoid not or only shallowly indented below glenoid (0), or posterior edge of coracoid deeply notched just ventral to glenoid, glenoid lip everted (1) Retroarticular process points caudally (0) or curves gently dorsocaudally (1) 223. Flange on supraglenoid buttress on scapula absent (0) or present (1) (Nicholls and Russell, 1985) Depression (possibly pneumatic) on ventral surface of postorbital process of laterosphenoid absent (0) or present (1)(Makovicky et al., 2003) Basal tubera set far apart, level with or beyond lateral edge of occipital condyle and/or foramen magnum (may connected by a web of bone or separated by a large notch) (0) or tubera small, directly below condyle and foramen magnum, and separated by a narrow notch (1) or absent (2). (Makovicky et al., 2003) Dorsal edge of postacetabular blade convex or straight (0) or concave, brevis shelf extending caudal to vertical face of ilium giving ilium a dorsally concave outline in lateral view (1) (Novas 2004) Postacetabular end of ilium terminating in rounded or square end in dorsal view (0) or with lobate brevis shelf projecting from end of ilium and beyond end of postacetabular lamina (1) Character added by Makovicky et al. (2005) State 0 occurs in basal dromaeosaurs and basal troodontids whereas Buitreraptor and Microraptor have a lobate brevis shelf. The reduced brevis shelf of Unenlagia also appears to be slightly expanded Flexor heel on phalanx II-2 small and asymmetrically developed only on medial side of vertical ridge subdividing proximal articulation (0) or heel long and lobate, with extension of midline ridge extending onto its dorsal surface (1). Character added by Makovicky et al., Advanced troodontids and dromaeosaurids have a well developed, more symmetric heel, but more basal taxa within each clade including Sinovenator, Microraptor, Buitreraptor, Rahonavis and Neuquenraptor display state 0 with a weak, medially skewed heel (see also Senter et al., 2004) Large, longitudinal flange along caudal or lateral face of metatarsal IV absent (0) or present (1). Modified from Novas and Pol (2005). A low, rugose muscle scar is present on the caudal face of the metaphysis of metatarsal IV in many theropods and is probably a precursor to the flange considered here. Presence of the rugose scar does not constitute a distinct flange, however, and is considered to fall under the conditions of state 0 here. Unlike Novas and Pol (2005) we consider the laterally directed flange of Velociraptor as homologous with the caudally directed flange in other paravians, because these structure occupy identical topological positions. Likewise, we consider this flange to be present in Sinornithosaurus Proximodorsal process of ischium small, tab-like or pointed process along caudal edge of ischium (0) or process large proximodorsally hooked and separated from iliac peduncle of the ischium by a notch (Chiappe et al., 1999). Character added by Makovicky et al., State 1 occurs in Unenlagia, Rahonavis, Confuciusornis and in some specimens of Archaeopteryx (Berlin, Solnhofen specimens). Other basal paravian taxa that possess a proximodorsal process generally display state 0 including Buitreraptor, Microraptor, Sinornithosaurus and Sinovenator Lateral face of pubic shaft smooth (0) or with prominent lateral tubercle about halfway down the shaft (1) (Senter et al. 2004). State (1) is observed exclusively in the Yixian Fm. dromaeosaurids Microraptor and Sinornithosaurus Distally placed dorsal process along caudal edge of ischidiac shaft absent (0) or present (1)(Forster et al., 1998) Obturator process square (i.e. with distinct caudal edge or notch) (0) or triangular with caudal end confluent with shaft (1) Triangular obturator process with short rostral projection and wide base along ischial shaft (0) or with short base, long process extending rostrally (1). State 1 occurs in a number of basal paravians including Microraptor, Sinornithosaurus, Sinovenator, Rahonavis and Buitreraptor. Due to incomplete preservations of the ischiadic margin in Unenlagia, the condition is difficult to determine, but we view this taxon as having state 1 based on firsthand observation of the holotype Tuber along extensor surface of MT II absent (0) or present (1)(Chiappe, 2002).

12 236. Ulna/Femoral length ratio: significantly less than one (0) or equal or greater than one (1). Characters added by Turner et al., (2007) Dorsal displacement of accessory (maxillary) fenestra: absent (0) or present (1). In all dromaeosaurids with known cranial material, the maxillary fenestra is displaced dorsally within the antorbital fossa. In other theropods, this displacement is absent with the fenestra positioned more ventrally or central on the medial lamina of the maxilla. (modified from Senter et al., 2004: char. 5) Jugal process of maxilla, ventral to the external antorbital fenestra dorsoventrally narrow (0) or dorsoventrally wide (1). In some dromaeosaurids, such as Tsaagan mangas (IGM 100/1015) the jugal process of the maxilla is dorsoventrally wide. In other dromaeosaurids, such as Velociraptor mongoliensis (AMNH FR 6515) the jugal process of the maxilla is dorsoventrally narrow. (modified from Senter et al., 2004: char. 14) Accessory antorbital (maxillary) fenestra recessed within a shallow, caudally or caudodorsally open fossa, which is itself located within the maxillary antorbital fossa: absent (0) or present (1). All dromaeosaurids with known cranial material exhibit state 1. Witmer (1997: p43) discusses this morphology in detail Nasal process of maxilla, dorsal ramus (ascending ramus of maxilla): prominent, exposed medially and laterally (0) or absent or reduced to slight medial, and no lateral exposure (1). Most theropods, including Velociraptor mongoliensis, have a prominent ascending ramus of the maxilla. In derived avialans this lamina becomes reduced or absent. (modified from Gauthier, 1986 and Cracraft, 1986 by Chiappe, 1996: char. 6 by Clarke and Norell, 2002: char. 10) In lateral view, participation of the ventral ramus of the nasal process of the maxilla in the anterior margin of the internal antorbital fenestra: present extensively (0) or small dorsal projection of the maxilla participates in the anterior margin (1) or no dorsal projection of maxilla participates in the anterior margin (2). In most theropods, the ventral ramus of the nasal process of the maxilla forms the anterior margin of the internal antorbital fenestra. A reduction and loss of this ramus is a trend within avialans. (modified from Clarke and Norell, 2002: char. 11) In lateral view, dorsal border of the internal antorbital fenestra formed by lacrimal and maxilla (0) or by lacrimal and nasal (1). In all basal avialans, except Archaeopteryx lithographica, the nasal forms the dorsal border of the internal antorbital fenestra. In non-avialan theropods, including Archaeopteryx lithographica, the dorsal border is formed from the medial lamina of the ascending process of the maxilla In lateral view, dorsal border of the antorbital fossa formed by the lacrimal and maxilla (0) or by the lacrimal and nasal (1) or by maxilla, premaxilla, and lacrimal (2). In all basal avialans, including Archaeopteryx lithographica, the nasal forms the dorsal border of the antorbital fossa. This is because the ascending process of the maxilla in Archaeopteryx lithographica is recessed medially slightly In lateral view, lateral lamina of the ventral ramus of nasal process of maxilla: present, large broad exposure (0), or present, reduced to small triangular exposure (1). The derived state is found in basal dromaeosaurids such as Sinornithosaurus millenii, basal troodontids like Mei long, and in Shanag ashile Supratemporal fossa with limited extension onto dorsal surfaces of frontal and postorbital (0) or covers most of frontal process of the postorbital and extends anteriorly onto dorsal surface of frontal (1). A number of large theropods, dromaeosaurids, and some oviraptorosaurians exhibit state 1. This character is distinguished from character 42, which codes for the shape of the fossa on the frontal and postorbital. (modified from Currie 1995, by Currie and Varricchio, 2004: char. 14) Jugal does not participate in margin of antorbital fenestra (0) or participates in antorbital fenestra (1). In Allosaurus fragilis and Oviraptor philoceratops the jugal does not participate in the margin of the antorbital fenestra Anterior and posterior denticles of teeth not significantly different in size (0) or anterior denticles, when present, significantly smaller than posterior denticles (1). The anterior and posterior denticles in most theropods as well as Dromaeosaurus albertensis exhibit state 0. Most dromaeosaurids exhibit state 1. (see Ostrom, 1969) Maxillary teeth almost perpendicular to jaw margin (0) or inclined strongly posteroventrally (1). Bambiraptor feinbergorum and Atrociraptor marshalli exhibit state 1. (modified from Currie and Varricchio, 2004: char. 40) Maxillary tooth height highly variable with gaps evident for replacement (0) or almost isodont with no replacement gaps (1). State 1 usually depicts no more than a 30% difference in height between adjacent teeth. (Currie and Varricchio, 2004: char. 41).

13 250. Splenial forms notched anterior margin of internal mandibular fenestra: absent (0) or present (1). State 1 is present in Allosaurus fragilis and Tyrannosaurus rex. (Currie and Varrichio, 2004: char. 35) First premaxillary tooth size compared with crowns of premaxillary teeth 2 and 3: slightly smaller or same size (0) or much smaller (1) or much larger (2). (modified from Currie, 1995; Currie and Varricchio, 2004: char. 42). Characters added by P. Makovicky to resolve position of several basal coelurosaur taxa Postorbital rostral process, relatively short and pointed (0) or long, very slender and inserts in groove along orbital margin of frontal (1). State 1 occurs in e.g. Dilong, Nqwebasaurus, and Compsognathus, but not in e.g. Ornitholestes External mandibular fenestra: present (0) or reduced (1) or absent (2). See Hwang et al. (2004) and Peyer (2007). Hwang et al. (2004) note emf absence in huaxiagnathus, but indicate this could be preservational artifact rather than real. Ornitholestes appears to have one although its margins are hard to pick out (A. Turner, pers. commun.) Ascending rami of quadrate and quadratojugal meet squmosal to form a straight border to the laterotemporal fenestra (0) or kinked into laterotemporal fenestra at midheight (1). Taxa such as Proceratosaurus, Guanlong, various tyrannosaurs, and Tanycolagreus display state Subcondylar recesses, absent (0) or present (1) (Holtz, 2004) Premaxillary teeth serrated (0) or unserrated (1) (Holtz, 2004) Premaxillary teeth, subequal to rostral maxillary teeth in size (0) or significantly smaller (1). State 1 characterizes e.g. tyrannosauroids and Proceratosaurus Acromion process of scapula: large, blunt and projects perpendiclar to scapular shaft (0), or pointed and extends in continuation of rostral edge of scapular blade (1) Internal tuberosity of humerus, pointed (0) or expanded along humeral shaft with straight medial edge (1) (Novas, 1997) Height of lesser trochanter: below height of greater trochanter (0) or level with or dorsal to height of greater trochanter (1) Ilio-ischiadic contact: ischium with slightly concave or flat proximal articular surface that contacts ilium (0), or with deep socket for reception of peg-like ischial peduncle of ilium (1). State 1 is observed in ornithomimosaurs, tyrannosauroids, and possibly some other basal taxa such as Ornitholestes Rostral edge of ilium straight or concave (0) or with notch at rostrodorsal corner (1). This traits has generally been viewed as a tyrannosaurid character, but maybe more widespread (see e.g. Mirischia). (Holtz, 2004) 263. Nasals unfused (0) or at least partially fused (1). (Holtz, 2001) Nasal crest (or crests) absent (0) or bilateral crests present along lateral margins of nasals (1) or midline crest present (2) Iliac blades roughly vertical (0) or dorsomedially inclined, dorsal edges of ilia approach or meet each other above sacrum (1) Vertical midline ridge on lateral face of ilium, absent (0) or present (1) Series of pneumatic foramina along lateral edge/ face of nasal: absent (0) or present (1) Postorbital bar relatively narrow and comparable to preorbital bar (lacrimal) in rostrocaudal width (0) or postorbital bar (formed by descending process of postorbital and sometimes ascending process of jugal) wide and plate-like, about twice as wide as preorbital bar (1). This features characterizes tyrannosaurids plus Dilong Retroarticular process low and rod-like (0) or short, wide, and with distinct caudally facing concavity (1) Manus tetradactyl (0) or tridactyl, or with less digits (1) Frontal broadly exposed along orbital margin (0) or prefrontal and postorbital almost meet or contact each other to exclude frontal from orbital margin (1) Basicranium in ventral view, basisphenoid longer than wide, or with subequal proportions (0) or basisphenoid clearly wider than long (1). This is a tyrannosaurid feature Pubic obturator foramen present (0) or open notch present between pubic shaft and ishciadic peduncle (1) or neither notch or foramen present (2) Acetabular rim of ischium: convex or beveled (0) or with longitudinal sulcus or depression (1). A laterally visible sulcus or rim is observed in several putative tyrannosaurs including Stokesosaurs langhami and Bagarataan, as well as in more derived tyrannosaurids such as Albertosaurus and Tarbosaurus. State 1 also appears to be present in Ornitholestes. See Benson (2008) for details.

14 275. Quadrate fenestra small, slit-like, fully or almost fully enclosed by quadrate (0), or very large, circular with broad particiaption of quadratojugal in lateral margin (1).(Holtz, 2004) 276. Principal distal carpal semilunate in lateral view with trochlear proximal surface (0) or discoid, with flat proximal surface (1) Epineurapohyseal processes on axis neural spine, absent (0) or present (1). State 1 is observed in Daspletosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Tarbosaurus, and Xiongguanlong Supraacetabular shelf extends along most or all of the edge of the pubic peduncle of ilium (0) or discretely offset from acetabular edge of pubic peduncle (1). Ancestrally, saurischians, including theropods, have a long, overhanging supraacetabular shelf that reaches along most or all of the pubic peduncle edge. In more derived theropods such as tyrannosaurids and ornithomimids, the supraacetabular shelf is more restricted, lying above the apex of the acetabulum but with limited development onto the pubic peduncle. This may well correlate with the orientation of the femoral head (mediorostral in basal forms, directly medial in more derived taxa) Acromion process of scapula, long, either tapering or horizontal triangle (0) or truncated, with deep base but short reach beyond scapular blade and squared-off profile (1). State 1 occurs in ornithomimids Basisphenoid with pronounced muscle scars flanking basisphenoid recess: no (0), yes (1). (Bakker et al. 1998) 281.Quadratojugal, mediolaterally compressed and flat (0) or with distinct flexure near caudal border, so that caudal edge faces caudally rather than laterally (1) Pedal unguals curved in lateral view (0) or straight (1). See Longrich (2008) for details Maxillary and dentary teeth zipodont or conical, and raptorial (0), or lanceolate (1) Iliac blade straight or gently arced in dorsal view (0) or with markedly everted preacetabular blade (1) Nasals in dorsal view, with parallel outer edges caudal to narial region (0) or hourglass shaped with constriction at midlevel and expanded ends (1) Dentary teeth smaller, or of similar height throughout tooth row (0) or elongate, longer than teeth from middle of dentary tooth row (1). State 1 is described in some therizinosauroid taxa by Zanno (2008) Shafts of major metatarsals not appressed against each other beyond proximal half of shaft (0) or appressed throughout most or all of metatarsus, adjacent surfaces of shafts flattened for contact between metatarsals (1). Zanno (2008) 288. Lateral fossa of proximal tibia (incisura tibialis) deeply notched (0) or wide and shallow, nearly absent (1). Zanno (2008) Shaft of MT III with straight medial border in dorsal view (0) or with a medial expansion forming a convexity or bulge along the distal part of the shaft (1). Kobayashi and Barsbold (2005) Lacrimal without dorsal wing (0), or dorsal wing wrapping onto side of nasal crest (1). Smith et al. (2007) Pubic peduncle articular facet flexed with two facets set at obtuse angle to each other (0), or convex (1) or flat (2). Ordered and modified from Tykoski and Rowe (2004). The convex condition is considered intermediate between the flexed condition and the flat one Pubic and ischiadic peduncles of ilium of comparable rostrocaudal length at narrowest point (0) or pubic peduncle expanded and twice or more as wide as ischidiac peduncle (1). Note that this trait essentially refers to the bases of the peduncles, not their terminal ends, which vary considerably depending on the nature of the articulations. Other traits cover form of peduncle such as peg-and-socket articulation between ilium and ischium, or pubic peduncle distally expanded Pubic peduncle of ilium, uniform in width (i.e. unexpanded) in lateral view (0) or broadly flared toward pubic articular surface (1). 4.

33 5. RESULTS OF PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS Data coding and manipulation and tree visualization were carried out using Mesquite ver. 2.6 and McClade ver Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using the program TNT provided free of charge by the Willi Hennig Society (Goloboff et al 2008, Cladistics 24(5): ). Searches using both SPR and TBR branch-swapping were conducted on 300 random-addition trees (MULT command). The search resulted in 580 MPTs with CI = 0.35 and RI = The strict consensus for the entire set of taxa is given below, with the tyrannosauroid clade highlighted.
