The holotype and only known skull of Ko. prima is horribly overprepared; I don't think the former presence of lateral-line grooves can be determined.

Thanks for alerting me of Bulanov (2002), by the way; that's a reference I had overlooked!

"(but see Marjanović & Laurin, 2019 for alternative phylogenetic placement)"

We found the seymouriamorphs in the exact same position as almost everyone else. Instead, what got an "alternative phylogenetic placement" were the lissamphibians; they are what determines whether the branch the seymouriamorphs are on is the amniote stem or the tetrapod stem.
