I don't know... to me it looks like it could just as well have the classic 
subarctometatarsalian condition. It was scored as "?" in the analysis. 
Strangely enough, they don't code *Caudipteryx* as subarctometatarsalian.

I wonder why the text calls *Hulsanpes* a "derived dromaeosaurid".

TNT was used.

The trees in the supp. inf. have a "toothed_ornithomimid"... and the main 
text seems to imply Xu Xing has something sickle-clawed in the pipeline that 
is not a dromaeosaur...
