Hesperosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodylomorph reptile that contains a single species, Hesperosuchus agilis. Remains of this sphenosuchian have been found in Late Triassic (Carnian) strata from Arizona and New Mexico.
Hesperosuchus was a contemporary of Coelophysis, a primitive predatory theropod, and has been found as part of the small dinosaur's stomach contents.[1]
