Remarks

No complete specimen of Histriabairdia gen. nov. sp. 2 has been found, so no dimensions are provided. Histriabairdia gen. nov. sp. 2 is close to Anchistrocheles sp. B in Khosla et al. 2006 (here considered a member of Histriabairdia gen. nov.) from the Bajocian–Bathonian interval, Middle Jurassic, of India (Khosla et al. 2006), from which it differs by having a more elongate and caudate posterior extremity, a more rounded AVB and by lacking the median vertical ‘sulcus’.
