Ebrachosaurus is an extinct genus of aetosaur.[1] It was named after the town of Ebrach, Germany, near an outcrop of the Blasensandstein Formation where the original fossils have been found.[2] Other Blasensandstein fauna include the temnospondyl Metoposaurus and the phytosaur Francosuchus.[3] The genus has often been considered synonymous with the closely related Stagonolepis.[4][5][6] The holotype specimen was lost during World War II,[7] so its relationships within Stagonolepididae remain indeterminant.[8]
