Atychodracon is an extinct genus of rhomaleosaurid plesiosaurian known from the Late Triassic - Early Jurassic boundary (probably early Hettangian stage) of England. It contains a single species, Atychodracon megacephalus, named in 1846 originally as a species of Plesiosaurus. The holotype of "P." megacephalus was destroyed during a World War II air raid in 1940 and was later replaced with a neotype. The species had a very unstable taxonomic history, being referred to four different genera by various authors until a new genus name was created for it in 2015. Apart from the destroyed holotype and its three partial casts (that survived), a neotype and two additional individuals are currently referred to Atychodracon megacephalus, making it a relatively well represented rhomaleosaurid.

  • Atychodracon es un género extinto de plesiosaurio romaleosáurido conocido del límite Triásico Superior - Jurásico Inferior (probablemente piso Hettangiense temprano) de Inglaterra. Contiene una sola especie, Atychodracon megacephalus, nombrada en 1846 originalmente como una especie de Plesiosaurus. El holotipo de "P". megacephalus fue destruido durante un ataque aéreo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en 1940 y luego fue reemplazado por un neotipo. La especie tenía una historia taxonómica muy inestable, siendo referida a cuatro géneros diferentes por varios autores hasta que se creó un nuevo nombre de género en 2015. Además del holotipo destruido y sus tres moldes parciales (que sobrevivieron), un neotipo y dos individuos adicionales se refieren actualmente a Atychodracon megacephalus, lo que l (es)
