Dollosuchoides is an extinct genus of crocodilian. It is a basal tomistomine closely related to the genus Tomistoma, of which the only extant species of tomistomine, the False gharial, is a member of.[1] Fossils have been found from Belgium and date back to the middle Eocene. The holotype is currently housed in the Gand Museum in Belgium.[2]
