Maledictosuchus is an extinct genus of marine crocodyliform belonging to the family Metriorhynchidae. It is the most basal member of the Rhacheosaurini Tribe with a relatively short body length, measuring 2.95 m (9.7 ft) based on the type specimen.^[1]

Distribution

Genus includes two species: the type species M. riclaensis, described on the basis of fossils found in Ricla, Spain,^[1] and M. nuyivijanan, known from the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) Sabinal Formation (Tlaxiaco Basin, Oaxaca, Mexico).^[2]
