Unquillosaurus 1979 Los Blanquitos Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian)  Argentina Has been suggested to be a dromaeosaurid[51] or a carcharodontosaurid[52]
Velocisaurus 1991 Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Late Cretaceous, Santonian)  Argentina Unusually, its third metatarsal is the thickest Velocisaurus.jpg
Vespersaurus 2019 (Late Cretaceous)  Brazil Possessed raised claws on its second and fourth toes, making it functionally monodactyl, a possible adaptation to its desert habitat Vespersaurus paranaensis recon.jpg
Viavenator 2016 Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Late Cretaceous, Santonian)  Argentina May have relied on quick movements of its head and gaze stabilization when hunting Viavenator.jpg
Volkheimeria 1979 Cañadón Asfalto Formation (Early Jurassic, Toarcian)  Argentina Its neural spines were very low and flat
Willinakaqe 2010 Allen Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian to Maastrichtian)  Argentina As originally described, it represented a chimera of two different taxa, one of which was later named Bonapartesaurus[12]
Xenotarsosaurus 1986 Bajo Barreal Formation (Late Cretaceous, Cenomanian to Turonian)  Argentina Had an unusually-shaped astragalus and calcaneum
Yamanasaurus 2019 (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian)  Ecuador The northernmost saltasaurine known to date[42] Yamanasaurus.jpg
Ypupiara 2021 (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian)  Brazil May have been a piscivore due to the shape of its teeth[53] Ypupiara lopai.png
Zapalasaurus 2006 La Amarga Formation (Early Cretaceous, Hauterivian to Aptian)  Argentina Known from an incomplete skeleton, including several caudal vertebrae Zapalasaurus.png
Zupaysaurus 2003 Los Colorados Formation (Late Triassic, Norian)  Argentina Although commonly depicted with head crests, they may in fact be misplaced lacrimal bones[54] Zupaysaurus.jpg

Dubious, uncertain, and invalid genera[]

  • Angaturama limai: Only known from the tip of the snout. It may belong to the contemporary Irritator, but it could also represent its own taxon.
  • "Bayosaurus pubica": An abelisaurid known from partial postcranial remains.
  • Gnathovorax cabreirai: Known from a well-preserved, almost complete specimen. It may not be a dinosaur.
  • Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis: The type genus of a family of basal predators called herrerasaurids. They may represent early dinosaurs, possibly saurischians, but they could also be just outside Dinosauria.
  • Oxalaia quilombensis: Potentially a junior synonym of Spinosaurus.
  • Sanjuansaurus gordilloi: A herrerasaurid that, like the other members of its group, could be non-dinosaurian.
  • Taurovenator violantei: Only known from a single postorbital, it may be a junior synonym of Mapusaurus.
  • "Ubirajara jubatus": Known from a single specimen that preserves impressions of feathers, including display feathers on its sides. Its description was retracted before it could be published due to allegations that the specimen was illegally exported from Brazil.
