Heteropelta is an extinct genus of archosauriform, possibly a basal archosauriform, basal phytosaur or a suchian archosaur. It is known from a single species, Heteropelta boboi, which was found in the Middle Triassic Torbiditi d’Aupa Formation in Italy.[1] The holotype is listed as specimen MFSN 46485 and was collected after 2006.[2]
