Levnesovia is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Uzbekistan. It was related to Bactrosaurus. The type species is L. transoxiana. The genus name honours the late Russian paleontologist Lev Nesov, and the specific name refers to the ancient region Transoxiana.[1] It is known from the minority of the skull and would have reached around two meters in length.[2]
