Short description: Extinct genus of reptiles
"Pallisteria" is an extinct genus of "rauisuchian" that is yet to be formally described.[1] Thus, the name is considered a nomen nudum. It is known from NHMUK R36620, a partial skull and some postcranial fragments collected from the Lifua Member of the Manda Formation of Tanzania and date back to the late Anisian stage of the Middle Triassic.[2] The remains were first mentioned without description by English paleontologist Alan J. Charig in 1967 who published the name "Pallisteria angustimentum", along with Nyasasaurus in a review of the Archosauria. Charig referred "Pallisteria" to the Thecodontia.[3]
