Other distinguishing characters are: skull relatively long and narrow; fossa pterygoideus deep and narrow as in Nigeremys but in contrast to Taphrosphys; foramen posterius canalis carotici interni formed by pterygoid, basisphenoid, and quadrate in contrast to Phosphatochelys; small remnant of septum orbitotemporale present consisting of ventral parietal process as in Phosphatochelys but in contrast to Taphrosphys.</p> <p>DISCUSSION: See table 1 for a comparison of genera in the tribe Taphrosphyini.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6111878F72184D1B575CFEC1FBF6FB22	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Skull measurements are in table 2. Associated shell fragments include the anterior margin of the nuchal (fig. 6), neurals one and four (fig. 7), and peripheral two (fig. 7). A partial cervical vertebra (figs. 8, 9) and some pelvic fragments are present.</p> <p>TYPE LOCALITY: Mali 17, located south of the Adrar des Iforas Mountains, between Saguirilidad and In Fargas, Mali.</p> <p>HORIZON: Middle to upper portion of the Teberemt Formation of Moody and Sutcliffe (1991, 1993).</p> <p>DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT: Near shore marine.</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS: As for genus.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY: Named for the country of discovery.</p> <p>REFERRED MATERIAL: None.</p> <p>PREVIOUS WORK: CNRST SUNY 199 is included in the phylogenetic analysis of Gaffney et al. (2006).</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/6111878F72184D1C569AFAAEFEC1FDE3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
