|---|---|---|
| E. S. Gaffney et al. 2006 | A member of the tribe Taphrosphyini with the unique feature of a hornlike, anterodorsal process on each prefrontal. Other distinguishing features are septum orbitotemporale open and reduced to low ridge on postorbital and parietal, as in Phosphatochelys, Taphrosphys, and Azabbaremys, but in contrast to Nigeremys and Arenila; apertura narium externa smaller than in Rhothonemys, but similar in size to Phosphatochelys; preorbital part of skull short, in contrast to Taphrosphys and Labrostochelys; triturating surface unique in having very deep labial ridge beneath orbit with very low to absent labial ridge beneath apertura narium externa; labial ridge and maxilla very thin, as in Labrostochelys and in contrast to Phosphatochelys and Rhothonemys; wide quadrate-basisphenoid contact, as in Taphrosphys and in contrast to all other Taphrosphyini; foramen posterius canalis carotici interni formed entirely by quadrate, as in Labrostochelys, but in contrast to all other pleurodires. |
