Cryptovolans (meaning 'hidden flyer') is an extinct genus of feathered, dromaeosaurid, dinosaur represented by a 90 cm long individual preserved in 3 fossils. Feduccia et al. (2005) treated "Cryptovolans" as a junior synonym for Microraptor. If this move was formally adopted, the name Cryptovolans would be abandoned. Its specific name, C. pauli, honors paleontologist Gregory S. Paul. This fossil is in the collection of the Paleontology Museum of Beipiao, in Liaoning, China. The type specimens were collected from the Jiufotang Formation. They are referred to as LPM 0200 (or BPM 1 3-13), LPM 0201, and LPM 0159. Norell et al. (2002) were the first to publish a study of the specimens, but they did not assign the animal a formal name. Czerkas et al. (2002) coined the name "Cryptovolans" and dia

abstract
  • Cryptovolans (meaning 'hidden flyer') is an extinct genus of feathered, dromaeosaurid, dinosaur represented by a 90 cm long individual preserved in 3 fossils. Feduccia et al. (2005) treated "Cryptovolans" as a junior synonym for Microraptor. If this move was formally adopted, the name Cryptovolans would be abandoned. Its specific name, C. pauli, honors paleontologist Gregory S. Paul. This fossil is in the collection of the Paleontology Museum of Beipiao, in Liaoning, China. The type specimens were collected from the Jiufotang Formation. They are referred to as LPM 0200 (or BPM 1 3-13), LPM 0201, and LPM 0159. Norell et al. (2002) were the first to publish a study of the specimens, but they did not assign the animal a formal name. Czerkas et al. (2002) coined the name "Cryptovolans" and diagnosed this genus on the basis of primary feathers (which in the authors' opinion made it a bird), an ossified sternum, and a third finger with a short phalanx III-3. Some of the feathers Czerkas described as primary were actually attached to the leg, rather than the arm. This, along with all of the other diagnostic characters, is also present in the genus Microraptor, which was first described earlier than Cryptovolans.However, BPM 1 3-13 has a longer tail, proportionately, than other Microraptor specimens that had been described by 2002.
