Ngwevu (pronounced 'Ng-g'where-voo; directly from Xhosa 'ngwevu' and 'intloko' meaning "grey skull") is a genus of massospondylidsauropodomorphdinosaur from the Lower JurassicElliot Formation of South Africa. The type and only known specimen, BP/1/4779, was discovered in 1978 by James William Kitching. It had in 1990 and 2004 been regarded as an unusual specimen of the related Massospondylus, with a horizontally and vertically compressed skull,[2][3] but in 2019 the specimen was after restudy concluded to belong to a new distinct genus.[1] The genus is primarily distinguished by its skull being more robust than that of Massospondylus.
