The first karenitid (Therapsida, Therocephalia) from the upper Permian of Gondwana and the biogeography of Permo-Triassic therocephalians

Therocephalians were an ecologically diverse group of therapsids whose long stratigraphic record and widespread distribution during Permian and Triassic times make them important for understanding biogeographic patterns during a major faunal transition. Here, we describe a new therocephalian, Mupashi migrator gen. et sp. nov., from the upper Madumabisa Mudstone Formation (upper Permian) of Zambia's Luangwa Basin. The specimen has a long snout...
