Abstract:

Reexamination of the specimens from the Jiyuan tetrapod fauna, shows that this assemblage is dominated by the pareiasaur Honania complicidentata and comprises three chroniosuchian species including Bystrowiana sinica, Jiyuanitectum flatum gen. et sp. nov., and Dromotectum largum sp. nov., one cynodont species and possibly one gorgonopsian. It is roughly correlated to the Ilinskoe Subassemblage of the Sokolki Assemblage of Russia and the Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone of South Africa.
