Blomosuchus is an extinct

Vetluga River besides fossils of another problematic archosauriform, Vonhuenia (both were named in a 1992 study of Triassic fossils from Russia).[2]

The holotype material of Blomosuchus is based on a partially preserved braincase, and upon further examination, it was determined that these bones could not be used to diagnose the species.[3] It is currently considered to be a nomen dubium.[3]
