Extinct genus of temnospondyls

Bukobaja Temporal range: Middle Triassic, Ladinian PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Clade: Tetrapoda Order: †Temnospondyli Suborder: †Stereospondyli Clade: †Capitosauria Family: †Mastodonsauridae Genus: †Bukobaja Ochev, 1966 Type species †Bukobaja enigmatica Ochev, 1966

***Bukobaja*** is an extinct [genus](/source/Genus) of [mastodonsaurid](/source/Mastodonsauridae) [temnospondyl](/source/Temnospondyl) from the [middle Triassic](/source/Middle_Triassic) of [Russia](/source/Russia). It contains a single species, ***Bukobaja enigmatica***. *Bukobaja* mainly occurs in the [Bukobay Svita](/source/Bukobay_Svita) as part of the [Ladinian](/source/Ladinian)?-age "*[Mastodonsaurus](/source/Mastodonsaurus)* fauna", a section of Russian Triassic [biostratigraphy](/source/Biostratigraphy) characterized by *"Mastodonsaurus" torvus*. It was also present in the underlying [Donguz Svita](/source/Donguz_Formation) ("*[Eryosuchus](/source/Eryosuchus)* fauna").[1][2] *Bukobaja* appears to be a valid genus similar to, yet distinct from, *Mastodonsaurus*. Despite appearing to possess several unique features, *Bukobaja* is still known from very few remains. This has led to difficulties in determining its relations more precisely than "Mastodonsauridae *[incertae sedis](/source/Incertae_sedis)*".[3] It has also been compared to [trematosaurids](/source/Trematosauridae).[4]
