Plateosaurus > Plateosaurus engelhardti (Meyer von, 1837) >> Plateosaurus erlenbergiensis (Huene, 1905), Plateosaurus fraasianus (Huene, 1932), Plateosaurus integer (Fraas vide Huene, 1915), Plateosaurus longiceps (Jaekel, 1914), Plateosaurus plieningeri (Huene, 1907-1908), Plateosaurus reinigeri (Huene, 1907-1908), Plateosaurus trossingensis (Fraas, 1914), Plateosaurus poligniensis (Pidancet & Chopard, 1862), Dimodosaurus poligniensis (Pidancet & Chopard, 1862) Dinosaurus gresslyi (Rutimeyer, 1856) Gresslyosaurus ingens (Rutimeyer, 1856) Plateosaurus robustus (Huene, 1907–1908) Huene, 1932, Gresslyosaurus robustus (Huene, 1907-1908) Gresslyosaurus torgeri (Jaekel, 1911) [= Plateosaurus torgeri, (Jaekel, 1911] Pachysaurus ajax (Huene, 1907-1908) Pachysaurus giganteus (Huene, 1932) Pachysaurus magnus (Huene, 1907-1908) Pachysaurus wetzelianus (Huene, 1932) Zanclodon laevis (Plieninger, 1846) Zanclodon plieningeri (Fraas, 1896) Plateosaurus quenstedti (Huene, 1905) > Zanclodon quenstedti (Koken, 1900)
Holotype
SMNS 53537, incomplete postcranial skeleton, including some cervical vertebrae, the tail portions of the scapula, forearm, manus and pes
Galton, 2001, noted that this species is not a junior synonym of Plateosaurus engelhardti, as suggested by Wellnhofer, 1993; furthermore, there are no autopomorphies for this species, due to the lack of a skull and the poor preservation of the femur as a result Galton considers this specimen a Nomina Dubia.
