London, IX, p. 66, 1853. Type: _Dendrerpeton acadianum_ Owen. The genus is characterized by Dawson as follows (Phil. Trans., 1882, p. 635): "Lizard-like, with anterior and posterior extremities nearly equal; the skull somewhat elongate with small orbits, and the nostrils placed at the front. The cranial bones sculptured. The teeth plicated at the base, more especially on their inner sides. A series of large teeth on the palate. The body was covered above with imbricated horny scales and had lappets or pendants at the sides. The abdomen was protected by thin bony scales semi-elliptical or oat-shaped in form, and arranged in a chevron pattern. There was probably also a thoracic plate. Two species: _D. acadianum_ and _D. oweni_. "Type: _D. acadianum_ Owen." =Dendrerpeton acadianum Owen.= Owen, Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc. London, IX, p. 66, 1853.
