Taxonomy
Dicynodon amalitzkii was named by Seeley (1908). Its type specimen is PIN 2005/38, a partial skeleton, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Sokolki locality, PIN 2005, which is in a Severodvinian/Vyatkian terrestrial horizon in the Salarevo Formation of the Russian Federation.

It was synonymized subjectively with Dicynodon trautscholdi by Battail and Surkov (2000); it was recombined as Peramodon amalitzkii by Kammerer et al. (2011); it was replaced with Fortunodon amalitzkii by Kurkin (2012).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. F. Kammerer et al. 2011A medium-sized dicynodont that can be distinguished from all dicynodontoids other than Syops vanhoepeni, Turfanodon bogdaensis, and Vivaxosaurus trautscholdi by the presence of a preparietal depression immediately anterior to the pineal foramen. Distinguished from all dicynodontoids other than Dinanomodon rubidgei and Vivaxosaurus trautscholdi by the anterior process of the frontals. Further diagnosed by the following unique combination of characters: relatively short, very narrow intertemporal bar with steeply sloping snout profile, broadly rounded dorsal margin of squamosal in lateral view, anteriorly directed canine, and broad, round caniniform process, more curved anteriorly than posteriorly.
