| Abstract | The Guanling Biota, stratigraphically from the basal Wayao Member of the Falang Formation (the Early Carnian: Late Triassic), is remarkable for its completely articulated and well preserved large ichthyosaur fossils. A precise description in detail of the large ichthyosaurs will be of great significance to the understanding of their taxonomic status, evolution and phylogenic history. So far, five taxonomic names have been erected and published for these large ichthyosaur, namely Guizhouichthyosaurus tangae, Typicusichthyosaurus tsaihuae, Guanlingsaurus liangae, Cymbospondylus asiaticus, and Panjiangsaurus epicharis. However, most of them still need to be re-studied and confirmed their taxonomic status. On the basis of the field investigation and the preparation, observation, comparison, the revised and amended diagnostic description on Guizhouichthyosaurus tangae is given, and Cymbospondylus asiaticus and Panjiangsaurus epicharis are the synonyms of Guizhouichthyosaurus tangae. |
