it had strong muscles. Allodaposuchus iberoarmoricanus A. palustris was described by Blanco in 2021 based on fossils discovered in Late Campanian-aged fluvial deposits in Velaux-La Bastide Neuve, in Bouches-du-Rhône Department of southern France. The species name is in reference to the Ibero-Armorican island of the Cretaceous European Archipelago. Allodaposuchus (Agaresuchus) fontisensis ? In 2016, the new genus and species Agaresuchus fontisensis was discovered and described. It was named from the Lo Hueco fossil site in Fuentes, Cuenca, Spain; fontis is the Latin name of Fuentes. A. subjuniperus was then also placed into the new genus Agaresuchus. However, Blanco's 2021 study has called this into question, and instead proposed that they should both be considered members of Allodaposuchus, with Agaresuchus as a junior synonym. Allodaposuchus (Lohuecosuchus) megadontos and Allodaposuchus (Lohuecosuchus) mechinorum ? The genus Lohuecosuchus was named in 2015 and contained two species, L. megadontos and L. mechinorum, from Spain and southern France. However, Blanco's 2021 study has called this into question, and instead proposed that they should both be considered members of Allodaposuchus, with Lohuecosuchus as a junior synonym. Classification Allodaposuchus belongs to the clade Allodaposuchidae. The exact placement of Allodaposuchidae is still in dispute. Narváez et al. considered it the sister group to Hylaeochampsidae, which together form a clade that is sister to Crocodylia. Other studies have alternatively recovered them not as sister taxon, but rather as an evolutionary grade towards Crocodylia, with Hylaeochampsidae more basal than Allodaposuchidae. Alternatively, a 2021 analysis incorporating postcranial information recovered Allodaposuchidae within Crocodylia. Cladogram 1: Narváez et al., 2015 Cladogram 2: Rio & Mannion, 2021 Cladogram 3: Blanco, 2021 The internal phylogeny of Allodaposuchidae can be shown in the cladogram below from the 2021 Blanco study: In the 2021 study, Blanco recovered Allodaposuchus as paraphyletic, with Agaresuchus and Lohuecosuchus. Accordingly, Blanco proposed that Agaresuchus and Lohuecosuchus should be considered junior synonyms of Allodaposuchus.
