Acteosaurus
''Acteosaurus'' is an extinct genus of aquatic lizard that lived in the upper Cretaceous period. Its species, ''A. tommasinii'' and ''A. crassicostatus'', were described in 1860 and 1993. Though ''A. crassicostatus'' is probably a junior synonym for ''Adriosaurus suessi'', ''A. tommasinii'' was found to be similar to coniasaurs, mosasauroids, and a sister taxon to modern snakes in 2010.〔 ==Etymology== The primary portion of ''Acteosaurus name comes from Actaeon (; Greek: ), a famous Theban hero who was hunted and killed by the goddess Artemis. The second part of the name is the Greek word ''sauros'' (''σαυρος''), which means "lizard" or "reptile". The type species was named after the botanist Muzio Giuseppe Spirito de Tommasini (1794—1879), the Podestà—or magistrate—of Trieste under the Habsburgs.〔
