Beschreibung:The aim of this paper is to describe a fragment of left mandible of a juvenile specimen of Pliometanastes. That found brings some light about the phyletic relations among Pliometanastes protistus Hirschfeld & Webb, 1968 and ?Pliometanastes galushai Hirschfeld & Webb, 1968, and strongly suggests that Pliometanastes is a monospecific genus
