Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. Naish et al. 2012 | Large size (mandibular length .275 mm) and presence of a deep mediodorsal sulcus in the post-dentary region are autapomorphies of Samrukia nessovi. An additional potential autapomorphy revealed by our phylogenetic analysis is the presence of a prominent and raised anterior margin of the mandibular cotyla. |
