Remarks

The specimen known as “GPIT Aixheim” was tentatively classified as Teratosaurus suevicus by von Huene ( von Huene 1905: 345–349; 1907: 158–168) (species 28 in Fig. 3 View Fig ). However, the maxilla NHMUK PV OR 38646, which is the holotype of Teratosaurus suevicus , has been identified as a rauisuchian ( Brusatte et al. 2009). A similar situation occurred with “GPIT 18392”, also referred to as Teratosaurus suevicus ( von Huene 1915) . Subsequently, both “GPIT Aixheim” and “GPIT 18392” were reclassified as Plateosaurus gracilis ( Sellosaurus gracilis in Hungerbühler 1998; Plateosaurus gracilis in Yates 2003) (species 20 in Fig. 3 View Fig ). “GPIT 18318a” is also referred to as cf. Plateosaurus gracilis , as it has been included as a part of Pl. gracilis following Yates (2003).
