Evans, S.E. 2009. An early kuehneosaurid reptile (Reptilia: Diapsida) from the Early Trias− sic of Poland. Palaeontologia Polonica 65, 145–178. The Early Triassic locality of Czatkowice, Poland has yielded fish, amphibians, and a series of small reptiles including procolophonians, lepidosauromorphs and archosauromorphs. The lepidosauromorphs are amongst the smallest and rarest components of the assemblage and constitute two new taxa, one of which is described and named here. Pamelina polonica shares skull and vertebral characters with the kuehneosaurs, a group of specialised long− ribbed gliders, previously known only from the Late Triassic of Britain and North America. The relationship is confirmed by cladistic analysis. Pamelina is the earliest known kuehneo− saur and provides new information about the history of this clade. It is less derived post− cranially than any of the Late Triassic taxa, but probably had at least rudimentary gliding or parachuting abilities. Key wor ds: Reptilia, Kuehneosauridae, Triassic, Poland, gliding, Czatkowice.
