- Jachaleria candelariensis [1] is found near the of Candelaria City, in geopark of paleorrota in Brazil. Perhaps 3 meters long and weighing 300 kilograms. Throughout the early part of the Upper Triassic dicynodonts were absent from paleorrota and rhynchosaurs were the dominant herbivore. At the end of Carnian, however, was extinguished rhynchosaurs reappear in the records of dicynodonts. It occurs in Caturrita Formation.
- Jachaleria colorata[2] is found in Argentina, in the Los Colorados Formation. It is very similar to Jachaleria candelariensis.
