Knoetschkesuchus is a genus of small atoposaurid crocodylomorph from the Late Jurassic of Germany and Portugal. Two species are known: the German species K. langenbergensis, described by Schwarz and colleagues in 2017 based on two partial skeletons and various isolated bones; and the Portuguese species K. guimarotae, named from over 400 specimens including several partial skeletons. Knoetschkesuchus was a small and short-snouted crocodilian, measuring about 55 centimetres (22 in) in length, that primarily fed on small prey, including invertebrates, amphibians, and mammals. This specialization towards small prey ecologically separated Knoetschkesuchus from most of the other diverse crocodilians that it lived with in the island ecosystem of Jurassic Europe.

dbo:abstract
  • Knoetschkesuchus es un género de extinto de crocodilomorfo eusuquio atoposáurido que vivió durante el Jurásico Superior en Alemania y Portugal. Se conocen dos especies: la especie alemana K. langenbergensis, descrita por Schwartz et al. en 2017 con base en dos esqueletos parciales y varios huesos aislados; y la especie portuguesa K. guimarotae, nombrada de tres cráneos parciales así como varios otros elementos, y fue clasificada originalmente como una especie de Theriosuchus. Los especímenes atribuidos a K. langenbergensis también habían sido atribuidos a otra especie de Theriosuchus, T. pusillus por algunos investigadores. (es)
  • Knoetschkesuchus is a genus of small atoposaurid crocodylomorph from the Late Jurassic of Germany and Portugal. Two species are known: the German species K. langenbergensis, described by Schwarz and colleagues in 2017 based on two partial skeletons and various isolated bones; and the Portuguese species K. guimarotae, named from over 400 specimens including several partial skeletons. Knoetschkesuchus was a small and short-snouted crocodilian, measuring about 55 centimetres (22 in) in length, that primarily fed on small prey, including invertebrates, amphibians, and mammals. This specialization towards small prey ecologically separated Knoetschkesuchus from most of the other diverse crocodilians that it lived with in the island ecosystem of Jurassic Europe. Both species were formerly recognized as belonging to Theriosuchus; K. guimarotae was initially named as T. guimarotae, and specimens of K. langenbergensis were initially referred to T. pusillus upon their discovery. Schwarz and colleagues recognized a number of characteristics that united these two taxa to the exclusion of other species of Theriosuchus; in particular, Knoetschkesuchus only has two distinct types of teeth, lacking the leaf-shaped teeth seen in other atoposaurids. Other distinguishing traits include the relatively wide skull, and the presence of the antorbital and mandibular fenestrae in all life stages. (en)
  • Knoetschkesuchus (il cui nome significa "coccodrillo di Knötschke") è un genere estinto di piccolo eusuco atoposauride vissuto nel Giurassico superiore (Kimmeridgiano), sia in Germania sia in Portogallo. Il genere contiene due specie: la specie tedesca K. langenbergensis, descritta da Schwartz et al. nel 2017 sulla base di due scheletri parziali e varie ossa isolate; e la specie portoghese K. guimarotae, descritta per oltre 400 esemplari tra cui diversi scheletri parziali. Knoetschkesuchus aveva un muso piccolo e corto, e l'intero animale misurava all'incirca 55 centimetri (22 pollici) di lunghezza, che si nutriva principalmente di piccole prede, compresi invertebrati, anfibi e mammiferi. Questa specializzazione verso la caccia a piccole prede separava ecologicamente Knoetschkesuchus dalla maggior parte degli altri coccodrilli che vivevano nell'ecosistema di isole dell'Europa giurassica. Entrambe le specie sono state precedentemente riconosciuti come appartenenti al genere Theriosuchus; K. guimarotae è stato inizialmente nominato come T. guimarotae, e gli esemplari di K. langenbergensis inizialmente erano noti come T. pusillus dopo la loro scoperta. Schwartz et al. hanno riconosciuto una serie di caratteristiche che uniscono questi due taxa ed li differenziavano dalle altre specie di Theriosuchus; in particolare, Knoetschkesuchus ha solo due tipi distinti di denti, mancando di denti a forma di foglia visto negli altri atoposauridi. Altri tratti distintivi sono il cranio relativamente largo, e la presenza della Fenestrae antorbitale e una fenestra mandibolare in tutte le fasi della crescita. (it)
