Diplocynodon

Osteichthyes

Synonyms
  • Crocodylus monsvialensis was named by Fabiani (1914). Its type specimen is MGPPD 26843 and is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Ligniti di Monteviale, which is in an Oligocene fluvial-lacustrine lignite in Italy.

    It was recombined as Asiatosuchus monsvialensis by Franco and Piccoli (1993), Angielczyk and Gingerich (1998); it was synonymized subjectively with Diplocynodon ratelii by Brinkman and Rauhe (1998); it was considered a nomen dubium by Macaluso et al. (2019).
  • Crocodylus dalpiazi was named by Fabiani (1915). Its type specimen is MGP-PD 26814 and is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Ligniti di Monteviale, which is in an Oligocene fluvial-lacustrine lignite in Italy.

    It was recombined as Diplocynodon dalpiazi by Franco et al. (1992); it was synonymized subjectively with Diplocynodon ratelii by Brinkman and Rauhe (1998); it was considered a nomen dubium by Macaluso et al. (2019).
