Pagosvenator is an extinct genus of erpetosuchid from the Mid-Late Triassic Dinodontosaurus Assemblage Zone of the Santa Maria Supergroup of Brazil . The type species, Pagosvenator candelariensis, was described in 2018.[1]
Pagosvenator is a Brazilian genus which has been allied with the ornithosuchids prior to receiving a formal description in 2018. Despite only being known from a skull and a few vertebrae and osteoderms, which were anonymously donated to the Candelária Museum in 2015,[1] it shares similarities with several erpetosuchids. Although its description only compared it with Erpetosuchus and Parringtonia, its assignment to this family does have some support. It shares a few traits with these other genera, such as maxillary teeth at only the front of the mouth and a portion of the maxilla under the lacrimal which is higher than long.[1]
