Durialepis edentatus was named by Otto (2007) [Modified from Otto (2007): porolepiform distinguished by the following unique combination of characters: parieto-ethmoidal and postparietal shields similar in length; small and narrow parasphenoid; reduced parasphenoid dentition consisting of a single row of small teeth within a midline gutter; buccohypophysial canal located roughly at midlength of the ethmoid division of the braincase; five rows of teeth on parasymphysial tooth whorl in total, symmetrically arranged about a central midline row; extensive development of cosmine on dermal bones.]. It is not extant. Its type specimen is GIK 991, a skeleton (partially disarticulated remains from a single three-dimensionally preserved individual across several blocks preserving different regions of the skeleton: skul).
