Muchia

Muchia is an extinct genus of therocephalian therapsids from the Late Permian of Russia. Fossils have been found in the Kotelnichsky District of Kirov Oblast. The type species "M. microdenta" was named in 2011. "Muchia" is known only from a fragment of the lower jaw, making its classification among therocephalians uncertain. It is thought to be within the subfamily Tetracynodontinae, part of the larger group Baurioidea. Other members of the group such as "Tetracynodon" and "Malasaurus" are known from more complete material, and have small elongated skulls. "Muchia" probably had a similar appearance to these therocephalians.
