Abstract

The record of therizinosaurs is rich in Asian countries such as Mongolia and China. Fragmentary therizinosaur specimens have been reported from the Lower and Upper Cretaceous deposits in Japan. One of these specimens, from the lower Campanian Osoushinai Formation in Nakagawa Town of Hokkaido Prefecture, was previously identified as a maniraptoran theropod dinosaur, possibly therizinosaur, but its taxonomic status remained unresolved. This study re-examines the specimen and provides a more detailed description and attempts to resolve its taxonomic status. Our study demonstrates that it is a new taxon, Paralitherizinosaurus japonicus gen. et sp. nov., because it shows a unique combination of characters in the metacarpal I and unguals. Our phylogenetic analysis places this new taxon within an unresolved clade of Therizinosauridae in the strict consensus tree. The 50% majority-rule consensus tree shows better resolution within Therizinosauridae, showing an unresolved monophyletic clade of Paralitherizinosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Suzhousaurus, and the Bissekty form. Geometric morphometric analysis suggests that Paralitherizinosaurus unguals most closely resemble Therizinosaurus unguals in being slender and has weak flexor tubercles. This study also shows an evolutionary trend in ungual shape, which associates a decrease in mechanical advantage, development of flexor tubercle, and hypothesized output (product of mechanical advantage and development of flexor tubercle) in derived therizinosaurs, supporting the hook-and-pull function of claws to bring vegetation to its mouth. Paralitherizinosaurus is the youngest therizinosaur from Japan and the first recovered from the marine deposits in Asia. This suggests a long temporal existence of therizinosaurs at the eastern edge of the Asian continent and adaptation of therizinosaurs to coastal environments.

Paralitherizinosaurus japonicus gen. et sp. nov.

 

Etymology: “Paralos” means by or near the sea in Greek, “therizo” means reap in Greek, and “sauros” means reptile in Latin. Specific name, “japon” refers to Japan.

Holotype: NMV-52 (NMV, Nakagawa Museum of Natural History, Japan), a partial vertebra and a partial right hand, including metacarpal I, proximal ends of unguals I and II, and nearly complete ungual III (Fig. 1c).

Horizon and locality: The Osoushinai Formation (early Campanian) of the Yezo Group in Nakagawa Town in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan.

Diagnosis: A therizinosaurid with the following unique characters: dorsoventrally flattened metacarpal I (dorsoventral height less than half of transverse width) with no rotation of the axis of the distal end; presence of proximodorsally projecting dorsal lip in digits I and III; a shallow depression at the proximal portion of ungual III-4, connecting to the collateral groove; the presence of proximally extending ventral process; a weak flexor tubercle expressed as a small ridge.
