Extinct genus of temnospondyls
Bukobaja is an extinct genus of mastodonsaurid temnospondyl from the middle Triassic of Russia. It contains a single species, Bukobaja enigmatica. "Bukobaja" mainly occurs in the Bukobay Svita as part of the Ladinian?-age ""Mastodonsaurus" fauna", a section of Russian Triassic biostratigraphy characterized by ""Mastodonsaurus" torvus". It was also present in the underlying Donguz Svita (""Eryosuchus" fauna"). "Bukobaja" appears to be a valid genus similar to, yet distinct from, "Mastodonsaurus". Despite appearing to possess several unique features, "Bukobaja" is still known from very few remains. This has led to difficulties in determining its relations more precisely than "Mastodonsauridae "incertae sedis"". It has also been compared to trematosaurids.
