Agaresuchus

In 2014, a second species of Allodaposuchus, A. subjuniperus, was named on the basis of a skull. The skull was found underneath a juniper tree whose roots had grown between the bones, hence the species name subjuniperus or "under juniper" in Latin.[1] In 2016, the new genus and species Agaresuchus fontisensis, was also named from the Lo Hueco fossil site in Fuentes, Cuenca, Spain; fontis is the Latin name of Fuentes. A. subjuniperus was also moved to the genus Agaresuchus. The two species differ in traits such as the shape of the snout (elongated in the former, short in the latter); the shape of the premaxilla (longer than wide compared to wider than long); the number of maxillary tooth sockets (15 compared to 14); the shape of the eye sockets (large and round compared to short and crescent-shaped); the width between the eyes (narrow compared to characteristically broad); and characteristics of the palate and nasal bones. However, they were considered to be sufficiently distinct from the eastern European Allodaposuchus precedens to warrant a new genus.[2] Yet, in 2021, a phylogenetic analysis suggested that both A. fontisensis and A. subjuniperus belong within the genus Allodaposuchus proper.[3]
