Cited by genera

• Afromimus

  Erects Berthasauridae and recovers Afromimus within it, as the sister group of Abelisauroidea.

• Austrocheirus

  Recovered Austrocheirus within a poorly-supported Berthasauridae, the sister-clade of Abelisauroidea.

• Berthasaura

  Erected Berthasauridae (Berthasaura + Afromimus + Austrocheirus) as sister to Abelisauroidea; poorly supported, recovered in one of three matrices.

• Eoabelisaurus

  Recovered Eoabelisaurus on two revised datasets, as a neoceratosaur between Ceratosauridae and Abelisauroidea in one and as the sister taxon of Ceratosauridae plus Abelisauridae in the other.

• Huinculsaurus

  Recovers Huinculsaurus in a polytomy within Abelisauroidea.

• Ligabueino

  Recovered Ligabueino as sister to the Berthasauridae + Abelisauroidea clade (pruned topology).

• Noasaurus

  Places the holotype 22 m above the base of the Lecho Formation.

• Saltasaurus

  Source of the quarry coordinate; places the El Brete bone bed 22 m above the base of the Lecho Formation.

• Spinostropheus

  Excluded Spinostropheus from its matrices, treating it as likely a non-ceratosaur (possibly a basal tetanuran).

Cited by clades

• Elaphrosaurinae

  One matrix placed Elaphrosaurinae outside Noasauridae, as sister to Neoceratosauria.
