Extinct genus of reptiles

Ebrachosuchus Temporal range: Late Triassic, 231–228 Ma PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Ebrachosuchus neukami Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: †Phytosauria Genus: †Ebrachosuchus Kuhn, 1936 Type species †Ebrachosuchus neukami Kuhn, 1936 Synonyms Paleorhinus neukami (Kuhn, 1936)

***Ebrachosuchus*** is an [extinct](/source/Extinct) [genus](/source/Genus) of [basal](/source/Basal_(phylogenetics)) [phytosaur](/source/Phytosaur) known from the [Late Triassic](/source/Late_Triassic) (late [Carnian](/source/Carnian) stage) of [Bavaria](/source/Bavaria), southern [Germany](/source/Germany). It is known only from the [holotype](/source/Holotype) BSPG 1931 X 501, a complete [skull](/source/Skull) missing both [mandibles](/source/Mandible). It was collected at Ebrach Quarry, bed number 9 from the late Carnian-aged [Blasensandstein Member](/source/Blasensandstein_Member) of the [Hassberge Formation](/source/Hassberge_Formation). It was first named by [Oskar Kuhn](/source/Oskar_Kuhn) in [1936](/source/1936_in_paleontology) and the [type species](/source/Type_species) is ***Ebrachosuchus neukami***.[1]

Reconstruction of *Ebrachosuchus* (left)

Hunt and Lucas (1991) mistakenly referred to *[Francosuchus angustifrons](/source/Francosuchus_angustifrons)* as *Ebrachosuchus angustifrons*, and considered it and the other two *[Francosuchus](/source/Francosuchus)* species, *[F. broilii](/source/Francosuchus_broilii)* and *[F. latus](/source/Francosuchus_latus)*, to be [synonyms](/source/Synonym_(taxonomy)) of *E. neukami*. Furthermore, they reassigned the species to *[Paleorhinus](/source/Paleorhinus)*, and [synonymized](/source/Synonym_(taxonomy)) *Ebrachosuchus* with the former.[2] Subsequent researches accepted this referral. More recently, a phylogenetic analysis found *E. neukami* to be more closely related to [Mystriosuchinae](/source/Mystriosuchinae) than to *Paleorhinus* and thus the genus *Ebrachosuchus* was re-validated, while *F. angustifrons* was reassigned as *P. angustifrons* as it shares unique synapomorphies with the type species of *Paleorhinus* (*P. bransoni*) and was found to be its [sister taxon](/source/Sister_taxon). *F. broilii* and *F. latus* were also removed from *E. neukami*, as they were found to be [nomina dubia](/source/Nomen_dubium).[3]
