Taxonomic list

• The two elements listed as Obirkovia sp. by Bulanov & Yashina (2005) are identified as Elginia(?) sp. and Elginia sp. by Ivakhnenko (1997, in Ivakhnenko et al. [eds.] Permian and Triassic Tetrapods of Eastern Europe) and Ivakhnenko (2008), respectively. Since Ivakhnenko (2008) does not mention the re-assignment of these specimens to Obirkovia sp. by Bulanov & Yashina (2005), Ivakhnenko's (2008) assigment to Elginia sp. is ignored here.
