Zholsuchus is a genus of crocodyliform that may have been a goniopholidid mesoeucrocodylian, but is only known from scanty material (a right premaxilla, one of the bones of the tip of the snout).
This specimen was found in the Turonian-age Upper Cretaceous Bissekty Formation of Dzharakhuduk, Uzbekistan.
[1] Zholsuchus was described in 1989 by Lev Nesov and colleagues.
A 2000 review by Glenn Storrs and Mikhail Efimov designated Zholsuchus a dubious name,[2] while a 2022 study found that Zholsuchus is a valid taxa by the traits assigned to the specimens assigned to Zholsuchus, and showed affiliations with crown-group crocodylians.
