Selenocara
Selenocara is an extinct genus of mastodonsauroid temnospondyl. The type species is "Selenocara groenlandica", described by Gunnar Säve-Söderbergh in 1935 on the basis of skull bones from the Lower Triassic Wordie Creek Formation of Greenland. Säve-Söderbergh originally described it as a new species of "Wetlugasaurus". The original material was redescribed in 1997 by Hans C. Bjerring, who transferred "Wetlugasaurus groenlandicus" to the separate genus named "Selenocara". Bjerring listed the quadrate condyles which were about level with the occipital condyles (both transversally and horizontally), the orbitofacial openings wholly visible through the orbitopalatine openings when viewed ventrally, and the  long axes of each orbitofacial opening directed toward the ipsilateral auditive incisure as the characters justifying the exclusion of "S. groenlandica" from the genus "Wetlugasaurus". Bjerring stated that the generic name is derived from the Greek words "selene", i.e. moon, and "kara", i.e. head; the name honors paleontologist Eigil Nielsen, who went among contemporary Greenland explorers by the sobriquet of Månen, the Danish word for the Moon. Damiani (2001) disagreed with Bjerring's arguments in favor of regarding "Selenocara" as a genus distinct from "Wetlugasaurus". The author stated that in "Wetlugasaurus groenlandicus" the occipital condyles clearly lie well forward of  the quadrate condyles; in addition, Damiani did not consider other characters listed by Bjerring to be of signifact taxonomic importance. Damiani maintained "W. groenlandicus" as a species belonging to the genus "Wetlugasaurus". On the other hand, Novikov (2016) maintained "Selenocara" as a genus distinct from "Wetlugasaurus". In addition, the author described the second species of the genus "Selenocara", "S. rossica", on the basis of an incomplete skull from the Lower Triassic Sukhorechka Formation (Orenburg Oblast of Russia) and skull fragments from the Lower Triassic sediments of the Orenburg Oblast and Samara Oblast of Russia.
