Extinct genus of reptiles

Stenomyti Temporal range: Late Triassic Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Clade: Pseudosuchia Order: †Aetosauria Family: †Stagonolepididae Subfamily: †Aetosaurinae Genus: †Stenomyti Small & Martz, 2013 Type species †Stenomyti huangae Small & Martz, 2013

***Stenomyti*** is an [extinct](/source/Extinct) [genus](/source/Genus) of small [aetosaur](/source/Aetosaur). It contains a single [species](/source/Species), ***Stenomyti huangae***, which is known from a [skull](/source/Skull), [postcranial](/source/Postcranial) [skeleton](/source/Skeleton) and other referred material from the [Late Triassic](/source/Late_Triassic) [Chinle Formation](/source/Chinle_Formation), [Eagle Basin](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eagle_Basin&action=edit&redlink=1) of [Colorado](/source/Colorado), United States. *Stenomyti* is distinguished from other aetosaurs by eight [autapomorphies](/source/Autapomorphies) (unique traits), however its [osteoderms](/source/Osteoderm) are nearly identical to those of *[Aetosaurus](/source/Aetosaurus)* which suggests that osteoderms are not always reliable taxonomic indicators for aetosaurs. Based on its osteoderms, and other shared [cranial](/source/Cranium) characters with *Aetosaurus*, it was suggested that these taxa are closely related and lie outside the clade containing [Typothoracisinae](/source/Typothoracisinae) and [Desmatosuchinae](/source/Desmatosuchinae).[1]
