Number i digit has a very short first phalanx. Discussion It would be of interest to compare the girdles and limbs of the pristero- gnathid Therocephalia with those of the other therapsids of the Tapinocephalus zone. Unfortunately these structures in the contemporary therapsids are inadequately known. Only in the Dinocephalia have they been adequately described, and in the Dromasauria two specimens have these structures.
