Montirictus is an extinct genus of tritylodonts known from the Early Cretaceous Kuwajima Formation of Japan . It was among the latest surviving tritylodontids, and is closely related to the earlier Xenocretosuchus from mainland Asia, and the Jurassic Stereognathus from the UK.[1] It may be a species of the genus Stereognathus,[2] but resolution of its affinities conditions upon the discovery of additional material.[3]
