As reconstructed on the basis of most frequent bones, the skull of //Czatkowiella harae// was about 40 mm in length (on average), and is thus much shorter than that of //Prolacerta broomi// B.P.I. 2675 (about 70 mm). However, the presence of very small and very large maxillae demonstrates a range of variability that is consider to be intraspecific.1 +Strongly elongated cervical vertebrae with long low neural spines and slender horizontally placed cervical ribs with an anterior process; three-headed ribs on some anterior trunk vertebrae, but these ribs do not attach to the ends of elongated transverse processes; primitive premaxilla lacks posterolateral process . - Porównanie

It shows skull and vertebral charactersoncethought diagnostic of the long-necked “prolacertiforms” (loss of the parietal foramen, distinct transverse processes on the dorsal vertebrae, double-headed ribs), butmost recent (1998-2009) cladisticanalyses have failed to support a monophyleticProlacertiformes. Analysis suggestsa relationshipbetween //Czatkowiella// and the Late Permian //Protorosaurus//at the base of Archosauromorpha.Czatkowiella is thus to be considered a survivor of the Permian stage of archosauromorph phylogeny. However, this needs to be confirmed with a more detailed analysis at the new material of //Protorosaurus//. If this hypothesis of relationship is correct, then the similarities found between the cervical vertebrae and ribs of //Protorosaurus// (sensu stricto) and traditional “prolacertiforms” probably represent the retention of primitive character states, possibly synapomorphic for Archosauromorpha, or, given the cervical morphology of the basal diapsid //Petrolacosaurus//, for a more inclusive group.1 +//Czatkowiella// shows skull and vertebral characters typical of the long-necked “prolacertiforms” (loss of the parietal foramen, distinct transverse processes on the dorsal vertebrae, double-headed ribs), but is close to the Late Permian //Protorosaurus//.
