|---|---|---|
| L. I. Price 1947 | same as for genus | |
| J. C. Cisneros et al. 2004 | Candelaria barbouri is distinguished from all other owenettids by its relatively large size (at least 30% larger than all other known owenettid specimens) and by a suite of characters related to the presence of a temporal fenestra (figure 1):
(i) posterior process of the postorbital present, which extends well into the supratemporal; (ii) lateral notch of supratemporal absent; (iii) thin concave temporal bar present posterior to the orbitotemporal fenestra; (iv) supratemporal expanded ventrally; (v) squamosal dorsoventrally narrow but anteroposteriorly elongate. |
