shares with choristoderes several character states including: parietal foramen absent (4-1; also absent in many other aquatic reptiles); caudal zygapophyses lie nearly or completely vertical (58-1); and fibula narrow at proximal end and flared at distal end (70-1).

In addition, uniquely diagnostic character states, such as presence/absence of a neomorph bone in the braincase and presence/ absence of a pterygoquadrate foramen, are unknown for
