Abstract
To date, fourteen Procynosuchid specimens have been discovered, thirteen
from the Cistecephalus beds in the New Bethesda and Murraysburg districts in the
Southern Karroo and one very poor specimen from the Ruhuhu Beds to the N.E.
of Lake Malawi. Five genera, including eight species, have been created. This
paper briefly describes the history of the classification within the family and
notes some of the difficulties encountered.
