Mycterosuchus is an extinct genus of teleosaurid crocodyliform from the Middle Jurassic (Callovian) of England.
[1] The name Mycterosuchus was coined for Steneosaurus nasutus by Andrews in 1913 in his catalogue of thalattosuchians from the Oxford Clay of southern England.
[2] The genus name is derived from the Latin word for nose (mycto) and the Greek word for crocodile (soukhos), together meaning '(long) nose crocodile'.
[3] Mycterosuchus nasutus was synonymized with Steneosaurus leedsi by Adams-Tresmand in 1987, but is recovered as a distinct species in the cladistic analysis of Osi et al. of 2018.
