NOV . ( FIG. 6 ) Type species Crocodilus superciliosus Blainville in Eudes- Deslongchamps, 1852 (following Recommendation 67B of the ICZN Code) ( nomen protectum ). Now referred to as Thalattosuchus superciliosus (Blainville in Eudes- Deslongchamps, 1852) comb. nov. Type by designation. Thalattosuchus superciliosus is a junior subjective synonym of Steneosaurus rostrominor Geoffroy Saint- Hilaire, 1825 ( nomen oblitum ). Etymology ‘Sea crocodile’, given that the species superciliosus is perhaps the best-known thalattosuchian, it is fitting that the genus be established for this species. Diagnosis Same as the only species (see below).
