noun
Anomodontia
A suborder of therapsids; a technical term used in paleontology and zoology.
異歯亜目は、古生代後期から中生代にかけて繁栄した単弓類の一群である。
Anomodontia is a group of synapsids that flourished from the late Paleozoic to the Mesozoic.
The term is composed of 異 (different), 歯 (tooth), and 亜目 (suborder), reflecting the characteristic varied dentition of the group. The exact historical derivation of the Japanese taxonomic name is uncertain; it is a direct calque of the scientific name Anomodontia.
