Shaanbeikannemeyeria

Extinct genus of dicynodonts

Shaanbeikannemeyeria is an extinct genus of dicynodont known from the Early Triassic of China.[1] It contains a single species, S. xilougoensis, which was described in 1980 by Zheng-Wu Cheng from a skull catalogued as IGCAGS V315. The specimen was lost, and a neotype skull IVPP V 11674 was later designated. A second species, S. buergondia, was named by Jin-Lin Li in 1980 from a partial skeleton,[2] but it has since been regarded as a synonym of S. xilougoensis.[3]
