Abstract
Our knowledge of premammalian synapsid
evolutionary history has benefited from over a hundred
years of fossil collecting, especially within the Permo-Triassic
sediments of South Africa's Beaufort Group
(Rubidge 1995) and the Cis-Ural region of Eastern
Europe (Ivachnenko et al. 1997). In the course of our
research and discussions we have discovered several
errors in the present state of non-mammalian synapsid
taxonomy. Here we propose emendations concerning
the genera Criocephalus Broom 1928 and Olivieria
Brink 1965.
