Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. A. Jenkins et al. 2008 | Plagiosaurine in which the postfrontal and supratemporal bones are in contact (primitive condition). Differs from the only other known plagiosaurine, Plagiosaurus depressus, which lacks a postfrontal-supratemporal contact. |
