A taxonomic note concerning a dicynodont (Synapsida: Anomodontia) from the Middle Triassic of East Africa

Abstract

The complicated histories of the Indian dicynodont Rechnisaurus and the East African dicynodont Kannemeyeria cristarhynchus has led to the incorrect use of the name ‘cristarhynchus’ for the latter taxon. This paper therefore proposes a new species name and diagnosis.
