Euenantiornithes is a superorder of Cretaceous birds. They are considered to contain the more advanced taxa of the Enantiornithes, the dominant group of birds during the late Mesozoic. Other, more plesiomorphic Enantiornithes such as Iberomesornis romerali or Noguerornis gonzalezi, are not considered to belong herein, but altogether, the Euenantiornithes appear to contain the bulk of the Enantiornithes. Despite being in accordance with phylogenetic nomenclature, the Euenantiornithes have come under severe criticism by proponents of that taxonomical system, such as Paul Sereno, who called them

abstract
  • Euenantiornithes is a superorder of Cretaceous birds. They are considered to contain the more advanced taxa of the Enantiornithes, the dominant group of birds during the late Mesozoic. Other, more plesiomorphic Enantiornithes such as Iberomesornis romerali or Noguerornis gonzalezi, are not considered to belong herein, but altogether, the Euenantiornithes appear to contain the bulk of the Enantiornithes. Despite being in accordance with phylogenetic nomenclature, the Euenantiornithes have come under severe criticism by proponents of that taxonomical system, such as Paul Sereno, who called them "a [sic] ill-defined clade [...] a good example of a poor choice in a phylogenetic definition" As they are technically validly described as a clade but might be a phenetic evolutionary grade instead, they could be considered a test case for how the proposed PhyloCode would deal with nomina dubia.
