SUCHODUS DUROBRIVENSIS LYDEKKER, 1890 A

1890a Suchodus durobrivensis gen. et sp. nov.; Lydekker

1913 Metriorhynchus durobrivense comb. nov. et unjust. emend.; Andrews

Holotype: NHM R.1994, mandibular symphysis.

Type locality: Near Water Newton (now within Peterborough), Cambridgeshire, England (middle Oxford Clay Formation) .

Etymology: ‘Crocodile-toothed from Durobrivae’.

Geological range: Middle–upper Callovian (jason– lamberti ammonite zones).

Geographical range: Cambridgeshire, England, and Normandy, France.

Referred specimens: NHM R.2039, incomplete skull, left mandibular rami; NHM R.2618, skull with articulated mandible, atlas axis, four cervical vertebrae, 14 dorsal vertebrae, two sacral vertebrae, numerous caudal vertebrae, cervical and dorsal ribs, left ilium, pubes, femora, tibia, fibula, and isolated pes bones; NHM R.3321, incomplete skull; PETMG R19, incomplete skull lacking rostrum.

Note: The correct spelling is S. durobrivensis not S. durobrivense . Andrews (1913) amended the epithet based on the neuter suffix, rather than retaining the masculine suffix (i.e. - se instead of - sis). In accordance with the code of the ICZN, Article 30.1.3, the gender of the generic and epithet name must match, and as Suchodus is masculine, - sis is the correct suffix.
