Comment:
Comments: Thomas (1909b) remarked that T. storeyi 'is readily distinguishable by its comparatively large size, long and well-defined brain-case, and long nasals.' Only T. annectens exceeds T. storeyi in body size, and the relationships and stature between the two and other large-bodied taxa remain to be uncovered
