Abstract
The type specimens of Cteniosaurus platyceps Broom, Dicynodon acutirostris
Broom, and Dicynodon validus Broom were re-examined and were found to be very
similar in a number of features rarely encountered in other Anomodontia. The skull of
the type of Cteniosaurus platyceps is described in some detail. It is concluded that the
above species must be considered to be junior synonyms of Tropidostoma microtrema
(Seeley).
