Description
Teleosaurinae Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1831 (Zoological Code)
Teleosaurinae Bonaparte 1838: 123 (PhyloCode)
RegNum registration number 799.
Type genus: Teleosaurus Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1825.
Etymology
‘Pertaining to Teleosaurus ’. The stem Teleosaur - is based on the genus Teleosaurus. - inae, is a Latin feminine plural suffix for ‘pertaining to’. Under Article 29.2 of the Zoological Code, the suffix - inae denotes a subfamily rank within the family-group.
Geological range
Early Jurassic (early Toarcian) to Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) (Johnson et al. 2020a).
PhyloCode phylogenetic definition
The largest clade within Teleosauroidea containing Teleosaurus cadomensis (Lamouroux 1820) but not Aeolodon priscus (von Sömmerring 1814). Definition from Johnson et al. (2022b).
Reference phylogeny

Zoological Code diagnosis and PhyloCode diagnostic apomorphies
Teleosauroid crocodylomorphs with the following unique combination of characters (6): between 50–65% of the premaxilla total length is posterior to the external nares (shared with Machimosauridae) (127.1); frontal–postorbital suture lower than the intertemporal bar (236.1); five alveoli per premaxilla (577.4); dorsal osteoderms ornamented with small round-toellipsoid pits that are very densely distributed (840.0); presacral osteoderms partially embrace the vertebrae laterally (847.1); transverse expansion of the thoracic dorsal osteoderms, with the transverse width 1.5-to-2.0 times greater than the anteroposterior length (856.1).
Composition
Platysuchus and Teleosaurus.
Comments
Authorship: While the nomen Teleosaurinae was first used by Bonaparte (1838: 123), as Teleosaurina, under the Zoological Code Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1831 is the nominal authority. The nominal author of a family-group is the author who first erected a family-group taxon that is valid (in fulfilment of Article 11), and in accordance with the Zoological Code Principle of Coordination applied to family-group names (Article 36.1). However, under the PhyloCode, Bonaparte (1838) is the nominal authority.
