The LSID of the publication is urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub: 66C2A3D5-1E5C-42E8- 8137-9B6253ACDA25, that of the new genus urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 85E563EB-2F61-4560- 8DB1-11F59261825E, and that of the new species urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 00A9D083-7874-4022-AB3C-41B9FF71841E.</p> <p>Diagnosis</p> <p>Lakotemys australodakotensis gen. et sp. nov. can be diagnosed as a representative of Paracryptodira by the presence of a finely sculptured skull and shell and the likely location of the foramen posterius canalis carotici interni midline along the contact of the basisphenoid and pterygoid and as a representative of Baenidae by the absence of epiplastral processes and the development of well-developed axillary and inguinal buttresses. Among named Early Cretaceous baenids, Lakotemys australodakotensis can be differentiated from Protobaena wyomingensis and Trinitichelys hiatti by having an irregularly shaped vertebral V that does not lap onto neural VIII and that forms two anterolateral processes that partially hinder vertebral IV from contacting pleural IV and can be differentiated from Arundelemys dardeni and Trinitichelys hiatti by having a broader skull and triturating surfaces (see Discussion for additional differences).</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>The compound word Lakotemys is derived from the combination of the word Lakota, in reference to the indigenous Lakota people of the greater Black Hills region, and the fossil-bearing Lakota Formation, and emys, ancient Greek for turtles. The species epithet australodakotensis is formed in allusion to the state of South Dakota through the combination of the word auster with the suffix - alis, Latin for south, and Dakota. The suffix - ensis is used to indicate a location.</p> <p>Referred material</p> <p>OMNH 66106, a poorly preserved skull collected from the type locality (Fig. 3); OMNH 63615, a poorly preserved shell collected from OMNH site V1382 (Fig. 4). All referred material originates from Unit 2 of the Chilson Member of the Lakota Formation.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03AE87943006FFD53E64FE1DEA2D342C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
