Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. A. Shishkin and T. Sulej 2009 | A new species distinguished from all other members of Parotosuchus by a combination of the following character states: (1) adjacent portions of interchoanal and parachoanal palatal tooth rows are
nearly aligned instead of forming a right angle, (2) assuming the retention in P. speleus of the standard capitosauroid outline of the snout, the presence of character 1 implies anterior convexity of the interchoanal row, in contrast to straight transverse alignment or gentle concavity of this row in other species. |
