Ichibengops munyamadziensis was named by Huttenlocker et al. (2015) [Autapomorphic in its possession of postcanine dentition situated on conspicuous ventral maxillary flange (also in Chthonosaurus and Lycosuchus) medial to a distinctive longitudinal groove with anterior pocket on the lateral surface of the maxilla. Shares with Chthonosaurus velocidens a wavy or poorly ossified anterior border of the suborbital vacuity; furrowed or ridged surface texture on the palatal surface of the palatine; and possibly a maxillovomerine bridge (although this region is damaged in Chthonosaurus). Differs from Chthonosaurus in absence of median frontonasal crest; slightly shorter postcanine tooth crown apices; frontal suture with nasal relatively straight (forms an anterior process extending between nasals in Chthonosaurus); and midline vomerine keel extends onto interchoanal body of vomer (keel is restricted more posteriorly in Chthonosaurus).]. Its type specimen is NHCC LB36, a partial skull (A partial skull missing the anterior snout and preserving the left side of its dorsal surface and a complete anterior palate ), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is L56 Munyamadzi Game Management Area, which is in a Wuchiapingian terrestrial horizon in the Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of Zambia.
