Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. G. Martinelli and G. W. Rougier 2007 | Definition—The clade including the most recent common ancestor of Irajatherium hernandezi and Pachygenelus monus, and all its descendants.
Diagnosis—Derived ictidosaurs with a dominant central bulbous main cusp on upper postcanines, with cusps B and C buccally displaced; lower middle and posterior postcanines with four aligned cusps that decrease in size posteriorly; the posterior portion of secondary palate almost at the level of the tip of the postcanines, forming a deep groove between the hard palate and the tooth row. |
