Fieldwork in the late 1980s in the Otlaltepec Formation Middle Jurassic (Bathonian-Callovian) of southern Puebla resulted in the recovery of the first osteological record of a Flagellicaudata dinosaur from Mexico and the southern-most for North America. The material is represented by metatarsal fragments of the right pes, showing autapomorphies in metatarsal II for Flagellicaudata. The available material is incomplete and the sample remains small, but it suggests the possible presence of a new taxon. This specimen provides data on the distribution and diversity of sauropod dinosaurs of southern North America during the Middle Jurassic.
