Scylacosaurid or Lycosuchid?

This article is inconsistent about the classification of this genus, and does not name a type species either. If S. ferox is the type species and now referred to Lycosuchidae, the genus would be referred to Lycosuchidae by default. The article says all four species are now classified as Lycosuchidae, but also lists it as a Scylacosaurid. Please clarify. 2601:441:4900:A6E0:9CFF:CC38:3850:F155 (talk) 16:25, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
