Classification: ntax_mesozoic -> hidden -> deleted -> Zeugrhabdotus elegans
Sister taxa: << < P. triassica subsp. punctata, P. triassica subsp. triassica, P. charlotteii, P. fistulatus, S. pseudobiskayae, S. gephyrion, S. acutiferrus, S. laffittei, Thoracosphaera, T. wombatensis, Z. sisyphus, W. communis, L. primigenius, C. crucifer, T. senarius, Z. elegans, S. cotortuosus, N. funiculus group, L. imprimus, S. humilis
Distinguishing features: Typical small to medium Zeugrhabdotus - used as default identification by many workers - a modern name would be Z. howei

- Reinhardtites elegans;
Taxonomic discussion: Although the name Z. elegans has been widely applied to typical medium-sized Zeugrhahbdotus specimens the type specimens of Gartner (1968) are R. anthophorus and so the name is a junior synonym of R. anthophorus. An alternative name for the morphotype is Z. howei Bown 2000 in Kennedy et al., 2000
