Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. S. Berman et al. 2014 | Varanodontine varanopid eupelycosaur characterized by the following autapomorphies of the neural spines (observed in the partially preserved articulated series of posterior dorsals of serial position 13–23) and in the unguals of the manus and pes: neural spines inclined anteriorly, gradually increasing in serial height from either end of column to serial position 18, and alternating in width; unguals of digits I, III, and IV of the manus and IV of the pes (the only ones preserved) strongly recurved and greatly elongated, with that of manus digit I being subequal to the combined lengths of its penultimate phalanx and metacarpal; unguals of manus digits III and IV and pes digit V exceed the combined lengths of their penultimate and antepenultimate phalanges by 59, 50, and 29 %, respectively; extremely slender (distal to basal) retractor tubercle with a depth only slightly exceeding the width, and with the medial and lateral surfaces converging dorsally to a narrow, rounded ridge |
