|---|
| Aeolodon | Gen. nov. | Valid | Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer | Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) | Solnhofen Formation |  Germany | A teleosaurid. | |
| Macrospondylus | Gen. nov. | Junior synonym | Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer | Toarcian to Berriasian, 183–142 mya | Oxford Clay Formation, Kimmeridge Clay, Holzmaden, Monheim, Hondelage | ,  France, Germany,  Switzerland,  Madagascar | Now considered a junior synonym of Steneosaurus. Steneosaurus is known from many species that existed from the Early Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, which form a monophyletic group when S. pictaviensis and S. megarhinus are excluded.[5] | |
| Metriorhynchus | Gen. nov. | Valid | Christian Erich Hermann von Meyer | Callovian to Kimmeridgian, 167–155 mya | Oxford Clay Formation, Kimmeridge Clay, La Voulte-sur-Rhône (lagerstätte) | , France, Germany, Switzerland | Many species have been referred to Metriorhynchus since 1830, yet recent studies show that only three species are valid and referrable to the genus, the type M. geoffroyii, M. superciliosus, and M. hastifer.[6] | |
