sentences:  "Purranisaurus potens" was removed as it is currently under re-description and ""Metriorhynchus" brachyrhynchus" was recoded due to the uncertainty of whether the "Suchodus durobrivensis" is a junior synonym of the former or its closest known relative.Finally, the paraphyly of "Dakosaurus" caused the presence of unusually large dentition (apicobasal length in excess of cm) to be homoplastic among geosaurins.As the referral of "Aggiosaurus nicaeensis" to "Dakosaurus" by Young & Andrade (2009) was based solely on this character, "Aggiosaurus" which has the largest dentition of any known metriorhynchid (up to cm in apicobasal length), cannot be considered a junior synonym of either "Dakosaurus" or "Plesiosuchus".
