TL;DR: Based on some excellent preserved specimens, the second genus of Dinocephalia in the fauna, following the first one, Sinophoneus Cheng and Ji, was described in the present paper.
Abstract: Material of the Late Permian Dashankou fauna was collected from a quarry at Yumen, Gansu, Northwest China. Sighficance and composition of the fauna,stratigraphical and lithological characters of the fossil-bearing beds have been previously demonstrated in the several papers (Chng et al., 1996; Li and Cheng, 1995;Cheng and Ji 1996). Based on some excellent preserved specimens, the second genus of Dinocephalia in the fauna, following the first one, Sinophoneus Cheng and Ji, 1996, is described in the present paper.

TL;DR: Two new specimens of Stenocybus acidentatus are described from the same locality, an anterior portion of skull with articulated jaws, and a right dentary with nearly complete dentition, showing some detailed features on the morphology of the premaxilla, maxilla, nasal, external nares and dentary.
Abstract: The basal dinocephalian clade Stenocybusidae was known from two incomplete specimens representing one generus, Stenocybus, from Dashankou fanua in Yumen, Gansu Province of China. The holotype of Stenocybus acidentatus is laterally compressed, making some characters unclear. Here we describe two new specimens of Stenocybus acidentatus from the same locality, an anterior portion of skull with articulated jaws, and a right dentary with nearly complete dentition. They show some detailed features on the morphology of the premaxilla, maxilla, nasal, external nares and dentary. The phylogenetic relationship between Stenocybus acidentatus and the relatively large Sinophoneus yumenensis is still difficult to determine, and needs more new complete material and further evidences.
