B. Krebs 1965 | Einzige Art mit den Merkmalen der Gattung.
Solange die Gattung Ticinosuchus nur eine Art umfasst, wäre ein Auseinanderhalten von Art- und Gattungsmerkmalen rein willkürlich. | |
S. Lautenschlager and J. B. Desojo 2011 | Ticinosuchus ferox differs from all other rauisuchian archosaurs by the combination of the following characters: antorbital fenestra tapers sharply anteriorly; maxilla with pronounced rostral ramus; maxilla with dorsoventrally expanded ascending process and fused medial interdental plates; centra of cervical vertebrae elongated and approximately twice as long as high; two sacral vertebrae; ventral margin of coracoid continuous (not interrupted by a notch or edge); pubis without distal expansion; postacetabular process of ilium with horizontal medial ridge; dorsal margin of ilium blade notably rounded and convex; ischia joined by a pronounced ventral crest, arrowhead-shaped and symmetrical anterior to mid-caudal osteoderms with a sharp and pronounced midline keel. |
