Helveticosauridae
Helveticosauridae is an extinct family of basal marine reptiles known from the Middle Triassic (Anisian-Ladinian boundary) of southern Switzerland and northern Italy.〔〔
The type species of the family is ''Helveticosaurus zollingeri'', named by Bernhard Peyer in 1955 based on a single nearly complete specimen T 4352 collected at Cava Tre Fontane from the Anisian-Ladinian boundary of Monte San Giorgio, Switzerland. Peyer (1955) considered the species to be a very distinctive member of the order Placodontia, and thus erected Helveticosauridae as well as the superfamily Helveticosauroidea to contain it within Placodontia.
Nosotti and Rieppel (2003) described ''Eusaurosphargis'' from the equivalent beds at Cava di Besano of the Besano Formation (Anisian-Ladinian boundary) of Italy. Their phylogenetic analysis recovered it as the sister taxon of ''Helveticosaurus'', and thus it was assigned to Helveticosauridae. Based on the description in the literature available for ''Saurosphargis'' (whose holotype is lost), they considered it to also fall in the Helveticosauridae clade. The anatomy of ''Saurosphargis'' was finally clarified by comparisons with the well-preserved specimens of ''Sinosaurosphargis'', and as a result ''Saurosphargis'' was no longer considered to be a ''nomen dubium'', and thus could be included in a phylogenetic analysis. Li ''et al.'' (2011) found ''Saurosphargis'' and ''Sinosaurosphargis'' to form a clade separate from that of ''Eusaurosphargis'' and ''Helveticosaurus'', thus ''Saurosphargis'' was removed from Helveticosauridae, and placed in its own family Saurosphargidae together with ''Sinosaurosphargis''.
