A new specimen discovered from the Falang Formation in northeastern Yunnan represents the most complete skeleton of Triassic pistosauroids.The new specimen is referred to Yunguisaurus Cheng et al.,2006 on the basis of the skull features,such as the presence of a separated nasal entering the external naris,a large pineal foramen located at the frontal/parietal suture and an interpterygoid vacuity with a narrow anterior extension.The new specimen differs from the type species of Yunguisaurus liae Cheng et al.,2006 in some aspects.Most of these differences can be attributed to ontogenetic variations.The new specimen is provisionally considered as Yunguisaurus cf.liae although its relatively short snout of the skull and slenderer hyoid may not be explained ontogenetically. Whether or not the new specimen represents a different taxon has to wait for a detailed study of the whole skeleton.
