 A separate exploratory analysis included "Scansoriopteryx"/"Epidendrosaurus", which was recovered as a basal member of Avialae; the authors noted that it did not clade with "Epidexipteryx", which stayed outside Eumaniraptora.Constraining the monophyly of Scansoriopterygidae required four additional steps and moved "Epidexipteryx" into Avialae.A monophyletic Scansoriopterygidae was recovered by Godefroit "et al."
