Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| E. Puértolas et al. 2011 | Arenysuchus is characterized by the following autapomorphies: infratemporal bar tabular and vertically oriented, with little dorsoventral thickness and extreme lateromedial compression; the dorsal portion of the anterior process of the frontal has a very elongated (<60 percent of the total rostrocaudal length of the frontal) and lanceolate morphology; the anterior process of the frontal projects strongly beyond the main body of the frontal and extends between the nasals, ending in a sharp point beyond the anterior margin of the orbits and the prefrontal, at the height of the anterior end of the lacrimal. The lacrimal is very wide dorsally, only twice as long as wide (taking its maximum length and maximum width). |
