Английская Википедия:Euornithes
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Automatic taxobox Euornithes (from Greek Шаблон:Lang Шаблон:Transl meaning "true birds") is a natural group which includes the most recent common ancestor of all avialans closer to modern birds than to Sinornis.
Description
Clarke et al. (2006) found that the most primitive known euornithians (the Yanornithiformes) had a mosaic of advanced and primitive features. These species retained primitive features like gastralia and a pubic symphysis. They also showed the first fully modern pygostyles, and the type specimen of Yixianornis (IVPP 13631) preserves eight elongated rectrices (tail feathers) in a modern arrangement. No earlier pygostylians are known which preserve a fan of tail feathers of this sort; instead, they showed only paired plumes or a tuft of short feathers.[1]
Classification
The name Euornithes has been used for a wide variety of avialan groups since it was first named by Leonhard Stejneger in 1884.[2] It was first defined as a clade in 1998 by Paul Sereno, who made it the group of all animals closer to birds than to Enantiornithes (represented by Sinornis). This definition currently includes similar content as another widely used name, Ornithuromorpha, named and defined by Luis Chiappe in 1999 as the common ancestor of Patagopteryx, Vorona, and Ornithurae, plus all of its descendants. Because one definition is node-based and the other branch-based, Ornithuromorpha is a slightly less inclusive group.

Other genera
The following is a list of primitive euornithian genera and those that cannot be confidently referred to any subgroups, following Holtz (2011) unless otherwise noted.[5]
- †Alamitornis
- †Changmaornis[6]
- †Changzuiornis[7]
- †Dingavis[7]
- †Gargantuavis
- †Horezmavis

- †Juehuaornis[7]
- †Platanavis
- †Wyleyia?
- †Yumenornis[6]

Note that Holtz also included the genera Eurolimnornis and Piksi as euornitheans, though they have since been re-identified as pterosaurs.[8]
