Within the dicynodont genus Turfanodon , there are two recognized species, T. bogdaensis and T. jiufengensis . Both species are known by relatively complete cranial materials, but the mandibles and most postcranial bones have been described only for T. jiufengensis . This paper reports new dicynodont specimens from Turpan, Xinjiang, referring them to T. bogdaensis . They can clearly be differentiated from T. jiufengensis by the flatter lateral surface of the snout region, a prominent swelling on the lateral dentary shelf, and the rounded femoral head. The diagnosis of Turfanodon is revised. The combination of a flat circumorbital rim, posterior portion of anterior pterygoid rami with converging ventral ridges, and a possible autapomorphy, a deep notch on scapula forming procoracoid foramen, are confirmed. It also differentiated from all dicynodonts other than Myosaurus , Kembawacela and Lystrosaurus by having accessory ridges lateral to the median palatal ridge.
