Vallesaurus

Reptilia

Taxonomy
Vallesaurus was named by Renesto and Binelli (2006) [Renesto & Binelli (2006) attribute the name to Wild (1991), but Renesto et al. (2010) state that Wild's use of the name was a nomen nudum, and thus Renesto & Binelli (2006) is the correct attribution]. Its type is Vallesaurus cenensis.

It was assigned to Elyurosauria by Renesto et al. (2010).
