Other studies such as Sereno et al. (2009) and Montefeltro et al. (2011) separate Baurusuchus, Cynodontosuchus, and other closely related genera from Pabwehshi, placing Baurusuchidae within Notosuchia. Pabwehshi is placed outside Baurusuchidae and Notosuchia all together.

— I disagree with these statements, because Pabwehshi was not included in analyses published in the two papers cited above, and especially it was not recovered as a sebecian in neither of them (authors also did not comment on possible relationships of Pabwehshi). Pabwehshi was regarded as baurusuchid (and therefore as notosuchian) in very recent papers by Turner and Sertich (December 2010) and Carvalho et al. (2011) (although no phylogenetic analyses were performed or Pabwehshi was not included), and Sues and Larson (2007), as far as I know, is still the only paper that places Pabwehshi in Sebecia. Therefore I can see no consensus for placing Pabwehshi within Sebecia rather than Baurusuchidae. Ag.Ent talk 14:52, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
