The existence of such a form as Typhlotriton, in the adult of which the eyes become closed up, makes such short diagnoses of the families defective, although there is no doubt about the Desmognathine affinities of this genus. See p. [103].

Boulenger has shown (P.Z.S. 1888) that Bibron's species of Phyllobates, hitherto grouped amongst the Cystignathidae, are Ranoids, closely allied to Hylixalus and Prostherapis. The other species now form the Cystignathoid genus Syrrhopus, Cope (cf. p. [212]).

Cope, the inventor of this most appropriate name, soon changed it, unnecessarily, into Theromora (μωρός = sluggish), perhaps in order not to emphasise too much their possible Mammalian affinities; while others rashly called them Sauro-Mammalia. For detailed illustrations of Theromorpha reference should be made to Owen, British Fossil Reptiles, 4to, London, 1849-55, and to numerous papers by Seeley, Phil. Trans. 178 (1887), 186 (1895), and by E. T. Newton in Phil. Trans. 184 (1893), 185 (1894).
