Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. R. Reisz et al. 2007Bolosaurid parareptiles characterized by the presence of strongly procumbent incisiform dentition anteriorly, and linguo-labially elongated, bulbous, posterior cheek teeth with strongly developed longitudinal striations. Non-dental potential autapomorphies cannot be recognized because most of the other bolosaurid taxa are known from fragmentary cranial and mandibular elements.
