related aphanosaur <i><a href="/wiki/Teleocrater" title="Teleocrater">Teleocrater</a></i>.</figcaption></figure> <p>The recognition of a close relationship between <i>Yarasuchus</i>, <i>Teleocrater</i> and other aphanosaurs and their relation to other avemetatarsalians settled a number of the unusual anatomical features of <i>Yarasuchus</i>. Many of the previously unique features of <i>Yarasuchus</i> unite it with other aphanosaurs, including the elongated neck, high neural spines, three-headed cervical ribs and slender <a href="/wiki/Appendicular_skeleton" title="Appendicular skeleton">appendicular skeleton</a>. <i>Yarasuchus</i> and the other aphanosaurs play a significant role in our understanding of early avemetatarsalian evolution, exemplified in the relatively completely known anatomy of <i>Yarasuchus</i>. The structure of the foot, particularly the bones of the ankle (such as the calcaneus), demonstrate that avemetatarsalians evolved from ancestors with 'crocodile-normal' ankles, unlike the simple hinge-like ankles characteristic of derived ornithodirans. The 'crocodile-normal' ankle was once thought to be unique to pseudosuchians, but its presence in aphanosaurs like <i>Yarasuchus</i> imply that the evolution of the avemetatarsalian ankle was a more complicated process than initially believed.<sup id="cite_ref-Teleo_3-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Teleo-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The anatomy of <i>Yarasuchus</i> also demonstrates that other typical avemetatarsalian features, such as slender limb girdles, had evolved prior to the eponymous 'advanced mesotarsal' ankles.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Unusually, <i>Yarasuchus</i> and other aphanosaurs share a number of features convergently evolved with poposauroids. Aphanosaurs and poposauroids share only one unique trait (the presence of an accessory articulation facet just above the parapophysis of the cervicals for the three-headed cervical rib), however they have also convergently acquired a similar set of traits that are found throughout archosaurs.
