Abstract
Pachyamia latimaxillaris n. gen. et sp. from the lowermost Cenomanian Bet-Meir Formation of Judea is characterized by an enlarged and divided maxilla, an ossified element in the pectoral girdle, a single postorbital plate, wide and truncated ribs, a smooth subopercular, and the absence of supramaxilla. Osteological features facilitate the following scheme of intrafamilial relationships: ossification of vertebrae, scale type, and presence or absence of supraorbitals and supramaxilla.Keywords
