Resumen:
Peirosaurids constitute a group of Gondwanan Cretaceous continental crocodyliforms. Two species are known for the Neuquén Group, Argentina: Lomasuchus palpebrosus Gasparini et al. (Portezuelo Formation, Late Turonian?Early Coniacian) and Gasparinisuchus peirosauroides Martinelli et al. (Bajo de la Carpa and Anacleto Formations, Santonian and Early Campanian, respectively). Here, we describe the first peirosaurid identified for the Cerro Lisandro Formation, Bayomesasuchus hernandezi gen. et sp. nov. The material corresponds to a fragmentary skull and mandible. Although fragmentary, this is the most complete crocodyliform specimen recorded for the Cerro Lisandro Formation. The phylogenetic analysis indicates that corresponds to a new peirosaurid closely related with the African forms.
