/pəˈɹeɪviən/ · noun
Any birdlike dinosaur of the clade Paraves, dinosaurs more closely related to birds than to oviraptorosaurs..
We note that the difference forelimb:hindlimb ratio is within the range of intraspecific variation in two paravian taxa known from multiple specimens, Microraptor 17 and Archaeopteryx 19 20, and is therefore not likely to be a clearly distinguishing feature between Tianyuraptor and Zhanyuanlong .
Use paravian when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
