In addition there are the interesting specialisations shown by the tabular horns and the swollen quadratojugals. In describing the type of Burnetia mirabilis, Broom was constrained to found for its reception a new sub-order of Theriodontia which he called the Burnetiamorpha, distinguished from the other sub-orders by " the remarkable specialisations " which the only known genus has undergone. Some of these specialisations are also seen in the type.
