‘ RHINESUCHUS AVENANTI’ BOONSTRA, 1940

Holotype: SAM-PK-11489, a skull with no mandible associated ( Fig. 10B View Figure 10 ).

Type locality and horizon: Farm Mynhardts Kraal, Beaufort West District (Western Cape Province, South Africa), from the ‘ Tapinocephalus zone’ according to Boonstra (1940), which now corresponds to either the Tapinocephalus or Pristerognathus assemblage zones, Guadalupian ( Rubidge et al., 2013).

Status: In the present revision and after examination of the holotype specimens, R. avenanti Boonstra is considered a junior synonym of R. tenuiceps Olson and Broom , as was originally suggested by Watson (1962).
