| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. A. Jenkins et al. 2008 | Differing from plagiosternines in: tubercular ornament on the dermal bones of the skull, mandible and pectoral girdle. Differing from plagiosuchines in: marginal tooth row on the dentary over half mandibular length; at least two tooth rows on the posterior coronoid, and one or more rows on the middle and anterior coronoids; posttemporal fenestra reduced to a slit or absent; interclavicle with paired posterolateral projections and an almost transverse posterior margin; interlocking claviculocleithral complex. |
