Lariosaurus sanxiaensis

Reptilia - Eosauropterygia - Nothosauridae

Taxonomy
Lariosaurus sanxiaensis was named by Cheng (2016) [Cheng named Lariosaurus sanxiaensis and briefly described its holotype in his PhD thesis. The thesis was clearly indicated by the author (dated on 28 May 2015) to be treated as a publication in the CNKI database. So the thesis meets the criteria of electronic publication (ICZN Code Articles 8.1, 8.5.1 and 8.5.2). However, the species name does not meet the criteria of electronic publication since the name was not registered into the ZooBank, so the species name cannot be taken as officially published (ICZN Code Article 8.5.3). The species was named again by Cheng in Chen et al. (2016), and the name can be taken as officially published in this monograph.]. It is not extant. Its type specimen is Wuhan Center of China Geological Survey, YIGM V 0940, a skeleton.
