Genus Ocloedus n. gen.
TYPE SPECIES. — By original designation: Coelodus subdiscus Wenz, 1989 ( Fig. 2B View FIG ). Berriasian- Valanginian from El Montsec, province of Lérida, Spain. Holotype of Coelodus subdiscus: MNHN MSE- 341.
OTHER SPECIES. — O. costae ( Heckel, 1856) n. comb., Late Jurassic from Torre d’Orlando, Italy;? Ocloedus rosadoi ( Silva Santos, 1963) n. comb., Late Cretaceous from Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Specific names originally assigned to Coelodus , and provisionally reassessed to Ocloedus n. gen. herein; species in need of revision. Many of the nominal species based on isolat- ed dentitions previously referred to Coelodus (e.g., Woodward 1895a), may eventually prove to fit better here after revision.
