Procuhy
''Procuhy'' is an extinct genus of dvinosaurian temnospondyl amphibian in the family Trimerorhachidae represented by the type species ''Procuhy nazariensis'' from the Early Permian of Brazil. History of study ''Procuhy'' was named in 2015 on the basis of a partial skull from the lower part of the Pedra de Fogo Formation in Parnaíba Basin, which is about 278 million years old. The genus name comes from the words for 'frog' (prôt) and 'fire' (cuhy) in the local Timbira language of the Macro-Jê group and refers to the name of the Pedra de Fogo Formation. The species name comes from the Nazaria Municipality where the holotype was collected from. A second specimen, discovered in 2015, was described by Marsicano et al. (2021), who provided a more complete description of this taxon. Anatomy Both specimens of ''P. nazariensis'' are relatively fragmentary, and the taxon is diagnosed only by a unique combination of characters rather than by any autapomorphies. Per Marsicano et a ...
