Bohemiclavulus is a genus of synapsids that was discovered in the Slaný Formation of the Czech Republic.[1] The type, and currently only, species is B. mirabilis.[2]

Discovery and naming

NM 633, the holotype specimen, in 1895

The holotype, NM 633, consists only of a single spinous process fragment, and it was found in the Czech Republic.

Antonin Fritsch originally named Bohemiclavulus in 1895a with the binomial Naosaurus mirabilis.[3] It was renamed Ianthasaurus mirabilis in 1895b, and was renamed to Edaphosaurus mirabilis later that year.[4] In 2019, a new genus was created for the species.[2]
