New genus Remigiomontanus, and other European edaphosaurids

[Halichoeres]

This paper describes a new type of edaphosaurid Remigiomontanus robustus, and reviews other European members of the family. Edaphosaurus itself is one of the most complete and probably the largest.

Here's a comparison graphic (Remigiomontanus in green)

Very interesting, I like Edaphosaurids

This paper actually describes two new genera of edaphosaurids. Along with Remigiomontanus, it also provides a new genus name for Naosaurus/Edaphosaurus/Ianthosaurus mirabilis, with the species being given the new genus name Bohemiclavulus. Bohemiclavulus is also in green on the image you provided, along with "Edaphosaurus" credneri, which this paper suggests is a juvenile of an indeterminate species of Edaphosaurus.
