"Lagosuchus" was a small archosaur from the Middle Triassic Period. It is generally regarded to be closely related to dinosaurs, as a member of the Dinosauromorpha. "Lagosuchus" was a lightly-built archosaur, and is notable for its long slender legs and well-developed feet - features it shares with certain dinosaurs. This was evident that "Lagosuchus" was an agile predator, meaning it could have used speed to chase its prey. It would also have used its speed to escape larger predators. "Lagosuchus" is regarded by some to be nomen dubium and "L. lilloensis" has been referred to "Marasuchus" by Paul Sereno in 1994.
