Autapomorphies (in contrast to M. cappelensis, see Schoch et al. 2023): (1) Orbits with pointed anterior end and narrow interorbital distance (Figs 3, 4; IOW: SL = 0.095); (2) medial premaxillary teeth enlarged (Fig. 5 C, D); (3) tusks in palate and especially in the symphysis greatly enlarged (Figs 5, 6), (4) postorbital larger than supratemporal; (5) squamosal wide to give broadened cheek; (6) interclavicle with elongate anterior process; (7) intercentra of the trunk dorsally closed in juveniles and adults (Fig. 6 N – Q).	en	Schoch, Rainer R., Witzmann, Florian, Moreno, Raphael, Werneburg, Ralf, Mujal, Eudald (2024): Growing giants: ontogeny and life history of the temnospondyl Mastodonsaurus giganteus (Stereospondyli) from the Middle Triassic of Germany.

5FAE2064B25B55349ECE7474C1CCA5B4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Autapomorphies (Figs 2 – 6): (1) Premaxilla with openings for symphyseal tusks, set well anterior to naris; (2) orbits large, reaching one-fifth of skull length; (3) jugal slender lateral to orbit; (4) parietal elongated anterior to pineal foramen; (5) lateral line sulci very wide; (6) epipterygoid massive and complex, with six distinct processes (footplate, pr. anterior, pr. dorsalis, pr. sphenethmoidalis, pr. basalis, pr. posterior). Characters shared with other capitosaurs: (a) interclavicle with elongated anterior process; (b) elongate postglenoid area; (c) tall hamate process.	en	Schoch, Rainer R., Witzmann, Florian, Moreno, Raphael, Werneburg, Ralf, Mujal, Eudald (2024): Growing giants: ontogeny and life history of the temnospondyl Mastodonsaurus giganteus (Stereospondyli) from the Middle Triassic of Germany.
