Biology:Ictidosuchoides

From HandWiki

Ictidosuchoides is an extinct genus of ictidosuchid therocephalians. Fossils have been found from the Karoo Basin in South Africa. The genus was previously thought to have been one of the few therocephalians to have survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event in this area,[1][2] but the putative early Triassic specimens have since been attributed to Promoschorhynchus.[3]
