Wing elements of Geronticus apelex sp. nov., holotype, SAM-PQ-L20692 (on left in each pair) and G. eremita, MVZ 155199. A. Humeri. B. Ulnae. C. Carpometacarpi. Scale is in mm. and posteriorly). Mandibular symphysis narrow as in G. eremita, not broader and more flattened as in G. calvus. Compared to modern species of Geronticus, the procoracoid foramen of the coracoid is smaller, the brachial depression of the humerus is smaller, not extending as far proximally, with the brachial depression of the ulna being correspondingly small; the trochanter of the femur in lateral view is more proximally extended into a point, appearing narrower and less truncate. The wing elements are proportionately longer than in G. calvus, being more similar to those of G.
