The prolacertids were historically placed within the paraphyletic group Prolacertiformes along with other basal, long-necked archosauriforms like Protorosaurus and the tanystropheids. However, more recent research has shown that the prolacertids were only distantly related to other "prolacertiforms", and were instead among the closest relatives of Archosauriformes.[4]

Prolacertidae is an extinct family of archosauromorph reptiles that lived during the Early Triassic epoch It was named in 1935 by the British palaeontologist Francis Rex Parrington to include the species Prolacerta broomi of South Africa and Antarctica 1 In 1979 a second species Kadimakara australiensis was described from Australia 2 Several other genera such as Macrocnemus Pamelaria and Prolacertoides have also been assigned to this family in the past 3 but these have been placed elsewhere by later studies leaving Prolacerta and Kadimakara as the only well supported members 4 ProlacertidsTemporal range Induan Olenekian 252 247 Ma PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Illustration of the skull of Prolacerta broomiScientific classificationDomain EukaryotaKingdom AnimaliaPhylum ChordataClass ReptiliaClade ArchosauromorphaClade CrocopodaFamily ProlacertidaeParrington 1935Genera Kadimakara Prolacerta Type The prolacertids were historically placed within the paraphyletic group Prolacertiformes along with other basal long necked archosauriforms like Protorosaurus and the tanystropheids However more recent research has shown that the prolacertids were only distantly related to other prolacertiforms and were instead among the closest relatives of Archosauriformes 4 The cladogram below follows a phylogenetic analysis by Ezcurra 2016 4 Archosauromorpha AenigmastropheusProtorosaurusJesairosaurusTanystropheidaeCrocopoda AllokotosauriaRhynchosauriaBoreopriceaProlacertidae KadimakaraProlacertaTasmaniosaurusArchosauriformesReferences edit Parrington F R 1935 XVI On Prolacerta broomi gen et sp n and the origin of lizards Annals and Magazine of Natural History 16 92 197 205 doi 10 1080 00222933508655037 Bartholomai A 1979 New lizard like reptiles from the Early Triassic of Queensland Alcheringa An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology 3 3 225 234 doi 10 1080 03115517908527795 Sen K March 2003 Pamelaria dolichotrachela a new prolacertid reptile from the Middle Triassic of India Journal of Asian Earth Sciences 21 6 663 681 doi 10 1016 S1367 9120 02 00110 4 a b c Ezcurra M D 2016 The phylogenetic relationships of basal archosauromorphs with an emphasis on the systematics of proterosuchian archosauriforms PeerJ 4 e1778 doi 10 7717 peerj 1778 nbsp This article about a Triassic reptile is a stub You can help Wikipedia by expanding it vte Retrieved from https en wikipedia org w index php title Prolacertidae amp oldid 1183581318, wikipedia, wiki, book, books, library,
