Annatherapsidus

Annatherapsidus is an extinct genus of therocephalians from the Upper Permian of Russia.[1][2] It was a fairly small animal with a length of 91 cm and a 22 cm skull.[3] It was originally named Anna petri, but the genus name was already taken, so it was renamed to Annatherapsidus.[4]
