Was Euornithes really coined by Sanz & Buscalioni 1992?

I thought it was Dementjev (1940). Don't have (or even know) the exact reference.


I've never seen
that used, and I really like Sereno's definition (...apart from the lack of
*Enantiornis*).

I think this is because _Enantiornis leali_ is not especially well-known (morphologically speaking). The paper that first described this species (and coined the 'subclass' Enantiornithes) only mentioned the name _E. leali_ once - in a figure caption.
