Discovery and naming

NM 633, the holotype specimen, in 1895

The holotype, NM 633, consists only of a single spinous process fragment, and it was found in the Czech Republic.

Antonin Fritsch originally named Bohemiclavulus in 1895a with the binomial Naosaurus mirabilis. It was renamed Ianthasaurus mirabilis in 1895b, and was renamed to Edaphosaurus mirabilis later that year. In 2019, a new genus was created for the species.
