Benggwigwishingasuchus is a genus of poposauroid pseudosuchian from the Anisian Favret Formation of Nevada. While the animal was found in marine deposits and possibly lived a coastal lifestyle, Benggwigwishingasuchus shows no clear adaptations towards marine life. The genus contains a single species: B. eremicarminis.[1]
