Genus: Prestosuchus HUENE, 1942
Etymology:
= Abaporu KISCHLAT, 2000 (nomen nudum)
Etymology:
=Huenesuchus KISCHLAT, 2023
Etymology: In honor of Friedrich von Huene, who unfortunately proposed the genus-group name Prestosuchus in 1938 (repeated in 1942) using a notation fo rfixation of the type-species that would be suppressd shortly soon, being only valid before th year 1931 (cf. Art. 68.2.1), and Greek, -suchus, "crocodile"; the name used by ancient Egyptians from Arsinoe (today el-Fayyum) for crocodiles.

Species: chiniquensis HUENE, 1942
Etymology:
= Prestosuchus chiniquensis HUENE, 1942
= Karamuru vorax KISCHALK & BARBERENA, 2000 (nomen nudum)
= Huenesuchus chiniquensis (HUENE, 1942) KISCHLAT, 2023

Lectotype: BSPG 1933L 1-3, 5-6, 8-12, 28-35 (Grabung 34)

Locality: Grabung 34, Weg Sanga, Rio-do-Rasto-Schichten, Luiz Silvia, West Chiniqua, Sao Pedero State, Brazil.

Horizon: Pinheiros-Chiniqua Sequence of the Santa Maria Supersequence, Santa Maria Formation.

Biostratigraphy: Dinodontosaurus assemblage zone.

Age: ? Late Ladinian Stage, Upper Mid Triassic Epoch or ?Early Carnian Stage, Lower Late Triassic Epoch, Late Triassic.

Material: Dentary, anterior angular, premaxilla, fragmentary dorsal vertebrae, posterior left and right humerus, scapula coracoid, gastralia, caudal vertebrae, left ischium, pubis, left femur, left tibia, left fibula, pes.

Paratype: BSPG 1933L/7:

Note: as per KISCHLAT & BARBERNENA, 1999…Thus, the type-series of P. chiniquensis is, probably, a composite of two taxa. The paralectotype agrees with the material housed in the UFRGS, but none of them agree with the lectotype…
