A REEXAMINATION OF FOUR PROLACERTIFORMS WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR PTEROSAUR PHYLOGENESIS by DAVID PETERS

“…Results of several subsequent cladistic analyses suggests that these "enigmatic" prolacertiforms, along with the newly described Langobardisaurus, are sister taxa to the Pterosauria, based on a suite of newly identified synapomorphies.…”

A NEW PROLACERTIFORM REPTILE FROM THE LATE TRIASSIC OF NORTHERN ITALY by SILVIO RENESTO

“…Analysis of available diagnostic characters allows it to be included in the Prolacertiformes, represenring a new genus and species, Langobardisaurus pandolfi probably related to Macrocnemus, possibly to Cosesaurus, and to the Tanystropheidae. …”

The phylogenetic relationships of basal archosauromorphs, with an emphasis on the systematics of proterosuchian archosauriforms by Martín D. Ezcurra

“…The results of the analysis using maximum parsimony include a polyphyletic “Prolacertiformes” and “Protorosauria,” in which the Permian Aenigmastropheus and Protorosaurus are the most basal archosauromorphs. …”

A REVIEW OF <em><em>RHYNCHOSAUROIDES</em> TIROLICUS</em> ABEL, 1926 ICHNOSPECIES (MIDDLE TRIASSIC: ANISIAN-LADINIAN) AND SOME INFERENCES ON <em>RHYNCHOSAUROIDES</em> TRACKMAKER by MARCO AVANZINI, SILVIO RENESTO

“…A tentative palaeontological attribution of Rhynchosauroides tirolicus and other Middle Triassic Rhynchosauroides trackmaker suggest with some confidence, that the morphology of the trackmakers matches the structure of prolacertiform reptiles like Macrocnemus bassanii Nopcsa, 1931 if this latter is reconstructed with a not fully plantigrade manus and pes, but rather with a semi-plantigrade manus and a digitigrade pes.…”
