Leptorrhamphus is an extinct monospecific genus of gavialoid crocodilian that lived during the Middle to Late Miocene in what is now Argentina . Fossils have been found in the formation then named Entrerriana Formation, in modern literature referred to as the Ituzaingó Formation.[1] The type species is L. entrerrianus, named after the formation in 1890.[2] It is now thought to be a nomen dubium.
