Plagiosauridae ( Abel, 1919 )

Plagiosauridae ( Abel, 1919)

Remarks: In a number of publications, Jaekel (1914) was cited as the author of the name Plagiosauridae , such as by von Huene (1922), Nilsson (1946) [erroneously citing Jaekel (1913)], Milner et al. (1996), Schoch and Milner (2014), Schoch et al. (2014), and Gee and Sidor (2021), whereas authors including Shishkin (1987), Novikov and Shishkin (1992), Hellrung (2003), Gastou (2007), Jenkins et al. (2008), Damiani et al. (2009), Dias-da-Silva and Milner (2010), and Konietzko-Meier and Schmitt (2013) acknowledged Abel (1919). Although Jaekel (1914: p. 210) first used the vernacular term Plagiosauriden (plagiosaurids) three times on p. 210 and suggested erection of the order Plagiosauri on p. 209, it was Abel (1919: p. 288), who formally defined the Plagiosauridae and assigned them to rhachitomous temnospondyls.
