Abstract
A skull of Teleidosourus cf. gaudryi COLLOT, 1905 (Crocodylia, Metrior hynchidae) was found in the Upper Bajocian deposits (Par kinsoni Zone) from south-west of Castellane (Alpes de Haute-Provence). This new sku ll is the oldest known belonging to the genus Teleidosaurus E. EUDES-D ESLONGCHAMPS, 1869. This genus comprises three species, each known by a single skull, from the Bathonian of Burgundy and Normandy. Possible comparisons are complicated by the destruction of two of the holotypes .
