I was printing off the supplementary information for Ji et al. 1998, and
noticed that there were diagnoses for two clades -- "Chuniaoae" and
Avialae. "Chuniaoae" is not mentioned after that point and appears to be
used for the unnamed clade of _Caudipteryx_ + Avialae further down in the
text. I suppose this could be the earliest name for the clade containing
both paravians and enigmosaurians.
Gauthier and de Queiroz (2001) proposed the apomorphy-based Aviremigia for
this clade.
