Paleontological Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A collection of Cynodontia from the Permian of Eastern Europe is revised. The taxonomic position of a number of previously described forms is reconsidered. New taxa, Novocynodon kutorgai gen. et sp. nov. (Thrinaxodontidae) from the Middle Permian and Sludica bulanovi gen. et sp. nov. (Procynosuchidae) from the Upper Permian, are described.
