The present paper deals with the systematic study of the pseudosuchians
from Wuhsiang, Yueshe, Ningwu, Chinglo and Shinghsien, collected by the
members of the Institute of Veterbrete Palaeoanthropology during the years
1955, 1956, 1959 and 1960. Three genera and four species of pseudosuchians
are described, attributing to three super-families of this sub-order.
Shansisuchus shansisuchus is richly represented, forming the main bulk
of the whole material. On account of the presence of two preorbital openings,
so different from all other known pseudosuchians, it is suggested to erect
a new family for it.
A small species probably of the same genus is described as Shansisuchus
heiyuekouensis. The third form is a large pseudosuchian with the lateral
side of the dorsal vertebrate crested and covered scutes. It is described
as Fenhosuchus cristatus. It belongs to the super-family chirotherioidea.
The fourth form is a small pseudosuchian, also with scutes, belonging
to the super-family Ornithosuchoidea Wangisuchus tzeyii.
