Mnemeiosaurus jubilaei or Deuterosaurus jubilaei is an extinct species of dinocephalian therapsids. It was originally named as representing a distinct genus, Mnemeiosaurus ("remembrance lizard"), by Franz Nopcsa in 1928,[1] which some authors, such as Boonstra and Tchudinov, have agreed with,[2][3] whereas some authors, such as Efremov and Ivakhnenko, regard it as a species of Deuterosaurus.[4][5] Two skulls, the holotype PIN 1954/2 and a referred specimen, PIN 2629/1, are known.[6]
