Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. B. Daeschler and J. P. Downs 2018 | Tristichopterid that differs from other known species by exhib- iting the following characters: scales with a divided free margin of pitted and/or branching extensions that gives the margin a fringed appearance, an especially wide and blunt snout (width/ length ratio of parasphenoidCvomers »0.60), and short inter- temporals (length ratio of intertemporal to parietal »0.33). Hyneria lindae differs from other species within a presumed (see Discussion) highly nested clade of Tristichopteridae (Eustheno- don wa€ngsjo€i, Langlieria socqueti, Mandageria fairfaxi, and Cabonnichthys burnsi) by exhibiting the following combination of characters: lack of accessory vomers, greatest maxillary depth in the distal half of the bone, and well-developed carinae on the mesial and distal margins of the dentary fang. |
