‘ RHINESUCHUS WOLGOD-VINENSIS’ YACOVLEV, 1916
Holotype: PIN 2253 View Materials /16–19, a partial skull whose location is at present unknown.
Type locality and horizon: The specimen described by Yacovlev comes from beds attributed to the Early Triassic Vetluga Series of Russia (Vetluga River, Gorky Province, Russia), although the exact stratigraphic location of the specimen is unknown.
Remarks: The skull described by Yacovlev (1916: fig. 1) as the type of Rhinesuchus volgod-vinensis is currently considered a wetlugasaurid, and the species a nomen dubium ( Schoch & Milner, 2000: 100).
Status: In the present revision and in agreement with Schoch & Milner (2000), the type specimen lacks any characters that justify its inclusion in Rhinesuchidae , and the species R. volgod-vinensis is also considered a nomen dubium.
