Tatrasuchus is an extinct genus of temnospondyl amphibian from the Middle Triassic of Poland. It is classified as a member of the family Cyclotosauridae[1] or Mastodonsauridae.[2] It is closely related to the genus Cyclotosaurus. The type species, Tatrasuchus kulczyckii, was named in 1996.[1] Damiani (2001) considered genus Kupferzellia Schoch (1997) from Middle Triassic of Germany to be a junior synonym of Tatrasuchus, and recombined its type species, K. wildi as the second species of Tatrasuchus.[2] This classification was followed by some authors, e.g. Fortuny et al. (2011);[3] other authors, e.g. Schoch (2008), maintain Tatrasuchus and Kupferzellia as distinct genera.[4]
