Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. C. Olson and J. R. Beerbower 1953 (Rothia) | Major skull features, so far as preserved, comparable to those of such large captorhinids as Labidosaurus and Labidosaurikos. Palate with "pavement" of irregularly spaced, sharp, conical teeth, occupying part of the pterygoid, palatine, and dentary bones. Interpterygoidal vacuity nearly or completely closed. Marginal maxillary teeth conical and moderately long. Premaxillary teeth larger and overhanging. | |
| E. C. Olson 1962 (Rothia) | Amendations and modifications of original diagnosis: Palatal teeth, on maxilla and those of lower jaw disposed in regular rows, not irregular as given in original diagnosis. Sculpture of dermal surface in temporal region with long, radial ridges and furrows. Quadratojugal and squamosal extended well back of position of quadrate articulation of lower jaw. Limbs and girdles small in proportion to size of skull and vertebrae. |
