👉 The term "Otidocephalinae" is a group of animals that are characterized by their flattened skulls and lack the distinctive skull features characteristic of other otoides. These otoids are located in the midline between the frontal bone and the temporal bone, providing support for the head. The term was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 and is named after the German anatomist Johann Otto von Doherty who introduced it to the scientific community.
