Jean le Loeuff and Eric Buffetaut in 1991 concluded it was a small abelisaurid, close to "Tarascosaurus" and that it was distinct enough not to consider it a "nomen dubium": they mentioned a more narrow femoral neck, a lack of orientation of the femoral head towards the front, the lack of an opening, or foramen, under the lesser trochanter and that the anterior face is narrower. Furthermore, at the lower end the beginnings of an anterointernal crest are visible, seeming to be homologous to the supracondylar crest of the femur of "Carnotaurus". They rejected the placement within Ornithomimidae, partly because of the much higher position of the fourth trochanter on the back of the femur.
