Teleocrater
"Teleocrater" is a nomen ex dissertationae given to an archosaur (or archosauromorph) originally thought to be a dinosaur. The name "Teleocrater" was coined by English paleontologist Alan Charig in his 1956 doctoral dissertation, but has never been formally published.

| Position of "Teleocrater" relative to other Archosauromorphs, based on Ricqles et al. (2008). |
A 2008 bone histology study of early archosauriforms tentatively identified "Teleocrater" as an archosauriform closely related to Eucrocopoda.[1]
"Teleocrater" is apparently conspecific with an unnamed avemetatarsalian closely related to the problematic archosauriforms Dongusuchus and Yarasuchus.[2]
