Kryphioparma
Kryphioparma is an extinct genus of aetosaur from the Blue Mesa Member of the Chinle Formation, Arizona. It is the oldest known member of the subfamily Typothoracinae, but currently only known from four isolated and incomplete dorsal osteoderms. Regardless, said osteoderms show a clear mix of features that does not match any other known aetosaur and were thus used as the basis for a new genus and species in 2023. The genus is monotypic, only including a single species, Kryphioparma caerula.
