Ambopteryx enters the LRT…
…between
Yi qi and Scansoriopteryx (Fig. 1) and it is midway in size between the two. There is no controversy with that nesting.
We looked at the controversies
surrounding Ambopteryx earlier here. No one has reported a ‘stylifom’ bone in Scansoriopteryx nor any other scansoriopterygids (other than Yi qi, by mistake).
Ambopteryx longibrachium (Wang et al. 2019; Late Jurassic; IVPP V24192; 32 cm long) is a scansoriopterygid bird, a descendant of Archaeopteryx #12 (privately owned) . A dense layer of feathers is also preserved, not a bat wing, as originally described.
