Pedeticosaurus[1] (van Hoepen, 1915) is an extinct genus of sphenosuchian crocodylomorph from the Clarens Formation (Early Jurassic) of South Africa. The type species is P. leviseuri. With long slender limbs, it was similar in form to other sphenosuchians, such as Saltoposuchus and Terrestrisuchus [citation needed]. Van Hoepen originally established a new family for it, the Pedeticosauridae.[2]
