|---|---|---|
| E. S. Gaffney et al. 2006 | A bothremydid pleurodire of the tribe Taphrosphyini with these unique characters among Taphrosphyini: triturating surfaces covered with prominent toothlike crenellations forming a corrugated surface; prefrontal extending anteriorly to anterior edge of premaxilla; deep premaxilla with anterior surface sloping anterodorsal to posteroventral; skull roof broadly convex to a greater degree than in any other Taphrosphyini. Other differentiating characters are: short, wedge-shaped skull higher than in Arenila and Nigeremys, differing from the short skull of Phosphatochelys by the presence of a prominent skull roof convexity; broad jugal exposure in orbit, as in Phosphatochelys and Arenila but in contrast to Taphrosphys and Labrostochelys; squamosal without vertical flange in contrast to Taphrosphys, Labrostochelys, and Phosphatochelys; labial ridge thicker than in Taphrosphys and Labrostochelys but thinner than in Arenila and Nigeremys; no maxillavomer contact; dorsally arched palate in contrast to Taphrosphys and Labrostochelys; foramen posterius canalis carotici interni formed by pterygoid and quadrate; postorbital lacking medial process; sulcus palatinopterygoideus wide; vomer narrow; condylus mandibularis anterior to condylus occipitalis; basisphenoid solid triangular not excavated posteriorly; postorbital wall open; fossa pterygoidea absent. |
