Anatomy, taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of Prestosuchus chiniquensis (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) from the original collection of von Huene, Middle-Late Triassic of southern Brazil

Abstract: A review of the type and referred material of von Huene shows that Prestosuchus is a valid taxon represented by, at least, three different species: the lectotype and paralectotype of Prestosuchus chiniquensis, an unnamed species from Brazil (UFRGS-PV-0152-T), and the new combination Prestosuchus nyassicus (=Stagonosuchus nyassicus). Several more recently referred specimens are also included within the genus Prestosuchus based on the absence of a vertical crest dorsal to the supracetabular rim; dorsal margin of… Show more

“…Within Loricata, Saurosuchus galilei, Prestosuchus chiniquensis, and Luperosuchus fractus consistently are located at the base of the clade. The relationship of these taxa could be a grade (as found here) or in a clade (Nesbitt & Desojo, 2017;Desojo, Baczko & Rauhut, 2020) as a consequence of character optimizations for taxa closer to Crocodylomorpha. Moreover, we did not find Stagonosuchus (=Prestosuchus Desojo, Baczko & Rauhut, 2020) nyassicus as the sister taxon of Prestosuchus chiniquensis with the addition of our new characters (see appendix), but given that the new characters focus on the skull and Stagonosuchus nyassicus is almost entirely represented by postcrania, this instability is not surprising.…”

The relationship within loricatans closer to Crocodylomorpha (e.g., Batrachotomus kupferzellensis + Alligator mississippiensis) remained unchanged in comparison with Nesbitt (2011).…”
