Montirictus

Montirictus is an extinct genus of tritylodonts known from the Early Cretaceous Kuwajima Formation of Japan. It was the latest surviving tritylodontid species until Fossiomanus was described,[1] and is closely related to the earlier Xenocretosuchus from mainland Asia, and the Jurassic Stereognathus from the UK.[2] It may be a species of the genus Stereognathus,[3] but resolution of its affinities conditions upon the discovery of additional material.[4]
