Endothiodontia
Taxonomy
Endothiodontia was named by Owen (1876) [possibly not originally ranked as infraorder].
It was reranked as the suborder Endothiodontia by Seeley (1895); it was reranked as the unranked clade Endothiodontia by Modesto et al. (2002), Kammerer and Angielczyk (2009), Fröbisch and Reisz (2011), Cox and Angielczyk (2015), Olroyd et al. (2017).
It was assigned to Therosuchia by Seeley (1895); to Dicynodontia by Carroll (1988); and to Dicynodontia by Modesto et al. (2002), Kammerer and Angielczyk (2009), Fröbisch and Reisz (2011), Cox and Angielczyk (2015), Olroyd et al. (2017).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. G. Seeley 1895 | The posterior nares are bordered in front by the hard palate, but the palatine bones do not meet in the medium line below them, as those bones meet in the Theriodontia. There are no incisor teeth. When teeth are developed on the palate they may be arranged in series or irregularly scattered. The lower jaw does not develop a coronoid process. It is excavated externally in front of the articulation, apparently by the masseter muscle. | |
| C. F. Kammerer and K. D. Angielczyk 2009 | In the topology of Angielczyk (2007), Endothiodontia as defined here consists of only Chelydontops + Endothiodon. If our definition is applied to the topology of Fröbisch (2007) and Fröbisch & Reisz (2008), Endothiodontia includes Pristerodon, Lanthanostegus, Chelydontops, and Endothiodon. Because of this difference, there is no overlap in autapomorphies between the analyses, and we have simply listed both sets here. Angielczyk (2007): (1) median ridge on anterior surface of snout present; (2) shelf-like area lateral to the upper “postcanine” teeth present; (3) parietal foramen surrounded by a strong, often rugose boss; (4) ventral surface of the median pterygoid plate with a wide, boss-like median ridge. Fröbisch (2007), Fröbisch & Reisz (2008): (1) coarse serrations present on marginal teeth; (2) lateral palatal foramen present and posterior and dorsal to the level of the anterior, expanded palatal exposure of the palatines. |
