Info
Genus - Typespecies - Skull
Based on an extensive holotype and three paratypes: holotype, MTM Gyn/404 (premaxilla, left lachrymal, left prefrontal, right postorbital, jugal and quadratojugal, left frontal, vomer, pterygoid, right quadrate and part of left quadrate, basioccipital, one _in situ_ premaxillary and 21 isolated teeth and one hyoid, portions of the anterior dentary, surangular, angular, and a small fragment of posterior dentary; three cervicals, six dorsals, ten caudals with three cervical and 13 dorsal ribs, five chevrons and some tendon fragments; complete left scapulocoracoid and right scapula portion of the adjoining coracoid, right radius and four metacarpals; preacetabular fragments of both ilia, left ischium, right femur and fibula, and ~100+ osteoderms); paratype, MTM Gyn/405 (anterior dorsal, cervical and dorsal ribs, a single half-ring osteoderm [thus cervical], and smaller circular osteoderms); paratype MTM Gyn/406 (fragmentary ulna, distal ?femur, a metapodial, fragmentary ribs, osteoderms); MTM Gyn/407 (sacrum with sacral rod [four presacrals fused as preserved], fragmentary right and complete left ilia, both ischia, isolated sacral with fused osteoderm).
Ethymology
For Hungary and Andráa Torma, a friend of the author and discoverer of the type
Diagnosis
\\\\\\\"Armored dinosaur, approximately 4m long; large notch at front of premaxillae, thin nasal process of premaxillae, robust rhomboidal quadrate condyles, large interpterygoid vacuity, dorsoventrally wide quadratojugal with strong protuberance, posterodorsally oriented crest-like protuberance on postorbital, short diastema between symphysis and first dentary tooth position, very short retroarticular process of surangular, anterior-most dorsal vertebra with unusual transversely wide, anteroposteriorly short amphycoelous centrum, with very large neural canal, dorsally displaced pseudoacromial process of scapula.\\\\\\\"
