Baurioids
Baurioidea is a superfamily of therocephalian therapsids. It includes advanced therocephalians such as '' Regisaurus'' and ''Bauria''. The superfamily was named by South African paleontologist Robert Broom in 1911. Bauriamorpha, named by D. M. S. Watson and Alfred Romer in 1956, is a junior synonym of Baurioidea. Many baurioids were once placed in a group called Scaloposauria. Scaloposaurs were characterized by their small size and reduced postorbital bar (a strut of bone behind the eye socket). Scaloposauria is no longer recognized as a valid taxon because it likely represents juvenile forms of many groups of therocephalians. Most scaloposaurs, including ''Scaloposaurus'' and ''Regisaurus'', are now classified in various positions within Bauroidea. Many therocephalians once classified as scaloposaurians are now considered basal baurioids. The classification of these species is uncertain, as there have been no comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of scaloposaurian taxa. The v ...

Polycynodon
''Polycynodon'' is an extinct genus of therocephalians from the Late Permian of South Africa. It is known from the ''Cistecephalus'' Assemblage Zone. The type species was first described as ''Octocynodon elegans'' by South African paleontologist Robert Broom Robert Broom Fellow of the Royal Society, FRS FRSE (30 November 1866 6 April 1951) was a British- South African medical doctor and palaeontologist. He qualified as a medical practitioner in 1895 and received his DSc in 1905 from the University ... in 1940, but the name ''Octocynodon'' was preoccupied by a genus of labrid fish first described in 1904. Along with John T. Robinson, Broom instated ''Polycynodon'' as a replacement name for ''O. elegans'' in 1948. ''Polycynodon'' is classified in Baurioidea, although its relationship to other baurioid therocephalians is uncertain.

Ictidosuchoides
''Ictidosuchoides'' is an extinct genus of ictidosuchid therocephalians. Fossils have been found from the Karoo Basin in South Africa. The genus is known to have been one of the few therocephalians to have survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event in this area, although its numbers were quite low after the extinction.Ward, P.

Chlynovia
''Chlynovia'' is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Late Permian of Russia. The type species is ''C. serridentatus'', named in 2000. ''Chlynovia'' was originally classified within Scaloposauria, a group of therocephalians characterized by their small size and lightly built skulls. Scaloposaurians are no longer recognized as a true grouping, but instead represent the juvenile forms of many types of therocephalians. ''Chlynovia'' was placed in the family Perplexisauridae along with '' Perplexisaurus'', but both therocephalians are now placed in the family Ictidosuchidae. ''Chlynovia'' was found in the Urpalov Formation in the Kirov region of Russia. Remains of ''Chlynovia'' have been found alongside pareiasaur Pareiasaurs (meaning "cheek lizards") are an extinct clade of large, herbivorous parareptiles.

Blattoidealestes
''Blattoidealestes'' is a dubious genus of therocephalian, an extinct therapsid from the Middle Permian of South Africa. The type species ''Blattoidealestes gracilis'' was named by South African paleontologist Lieuwe Dirk Boonstra from the ''Tapinocephalus'' Assemblage Zone in 1954. Dating back to the Middle Permian, ''Blattoidealestes'' is one of the oldest therocephalians. It is similar in appearance to the small therocephalian '' Perplexisaurus'' from Russia, and may be closely related. The holotype specimen of ''Blattoidealestes'' was discovered in 1918 in Prince Albert, Western Cape and cataloged as SAM 4321. SAM 4321 consists of a skull and partial postcranial skeleton. At around , the skull is extremely small for a therocephalian. It was heavily distorted during fossilization and preparation, with the right side heavily eroded and most of the skull having been broken off from the main block. The snout is short and the eye sockets are very large. The lower jaw is sle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yikezhaogia
''Yikezhaogia'' is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Early Triassic of Inner Mongolia (China). It is known from a single fragmentary skull and associated postcranial bones representing the species ''Yikezhaogia megafenestrala''. It is identifiable as a therocephalian by its thin postorbital bar behind the eye socket, its elongated temporal opening behind the bar, and a thin lower jaw with a low coronoid process. Large tooth sockets in the upper jaw indicate that ''Yikezhaogia'' had large caniniform In mammalian oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dogteeth, eye teeth, vampire teeth, or fangs, are the relatively long, pointed tooth, teeth. In the context of the upper jaw, they are also known as ''fangs''. They can appear mo ... teeth. The teeth of the lower jaw are blunt-tipped and cylindrical. Although its exact position among therocephalians is uncertain, ''Yikezhaogia'' is probably a basal member of the group Baurioidea. References ...

Silpholestes
''Silpholestes'' is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Late Permian of South Africa. The type species ''Silpholestes jackae'' was named by South African paleontologist Robert Broom in 1948 from the ''Cistecephalus'' Assemblage Zone. Classification ''Silpholestes'' lends its name to Silpholestidae, a family that traditionally encompassed many small therocephalians. Silpholestidae was first named by paleontologists D. M. S. Watson and Alfred Romer in 1956. In addition to ''Silpholestes'', the genera '' Ictidodraco'', '' Scaloporhinus'', '' Silphictidoides'', and '' Tetracynodon'' were all classified in Silpholestidae. Therocephalians that were once classified in this family are all very small, and have elongated and pointed snouts. Silpholestids were characterized by their short temporal openings at the back of the skull; in most therocephalians, these openings are very large and occupy much of the skull. Silpholestids were also distinguished by their wide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Silphictidoides
''Silphictidoides'' is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Late Permian of Tanzania. The type species ''Silphictidoides ruhuhuensis'' was named by German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene in 1950 from the ''Tropidostoma'' Assemblage Zone. ''Silphictidoides'' was once classified within the family Silpholestidae. Silphedolestids are no longer recognized as a valid grouping, and ''Silphictidoides'' is now considered a basal member of the clade In biology, a clade (), also known as a Monophyly, monophyletic group or natural group, is a group of organisms that is composed of a common ancestor and all of its descendants.
