|---|---|---|
| C. F. Kammerer and K. D. Angielczyk 2009 | Given the current monotypic status of Eumantelliidae, and the uncertainty surrounding the position of Pristerodon in recent phylogenetic analyses, any list of autapomorphies for this clade must be considered preliminary. Two autapomorphies can be identified in he analysis of Angielczyk (2007): (1) lateral palatal foramen present posterior and dorsal to the level of the anterior expanded palatal exposure of the palatines; (2) postparietal contributes to the ntertemporal skull roof. Two autapomorphies are also apparent in the analyses of Fröbisch (2007) and Fröbisch & Reisz (2008): (1) postparietal contributes to the intertemporal skull roof; (2) lateral dentary shelf present and well developed. Keyser (1993), King & Rubidge (1993), and Ray (2001) provided the most recent diagnoses of Pristerodon itself. The smooth, leafshaped, slightly ventrally convex palatine pads are perhaps the most distinctive diagnostic character of the genus, although this character has generally not been included in phylogenetic analyses. |
