A. W. A. Kellner et al. 2011Sphagesaurid that can be separated from all other members of this clade based on the following combination of characters (autapomorphies are indicated with an asterisk): rostrum with horn-like tubercles on the premaxilla* and on the maxilla* ;rostrum showing rough ornamentation with grooves and bony ridges*; first tooth posterior to the premaxillary hypercaniniform is supported exclusively by the premaxilla; palatine ramus of maxilla covered by low crests and shallow wrinkles; shallow fossa present at symphysis, medial to the first three teeth.
