Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
Z. Szyndlar and J.-C. Rage 2003"Differs from all remaining species of Bavarioboa by having distinctly smaller absolute size; by having neural spine beginning behind (and not above) the zygosphene.
Differs from all remaining species of Bavarioboa except for B. herrlingensis sp. n. by having prezygapophyses of middle trunk vertebrae not inclined and located only slightly higher than the neural canal floor; by not having thickened neural spines in posterior trunk vertebrae.
Differs from all Oligocene species of Bavarioboa by having ventral border of the haemal keel arched dorsally (in lateral view) from most vertebrae (pgs. 38-40)."
