Jushatyria is an extinct genus of rauisuchid. Fossils have been found in the district of Kumertau near the Ural Mountains in European Russia that date back to the Ladinian stage of the Middle Triassic. Additional material has been described from a locality on the banks of the Berdyanka River that was previously assigned to a rauisuchid-like archosaur. However, this material differed from the original specimens because it lacked slit-like antorbital openings accomopanying the antorbital fossa^[1]^[2]. Thus all material currently referred to Jushatyria most likely does not represent a single taxon.
