副正體龍 Paratypothorax andressorum Long and Ballew, 1985

副正體龍屬(學名:Paratypothorax)是堅蜥目的一屬,是在1985年根據鱗甲化石而敘述、命名,曾經被歸類於箭齒龍的一種[1]。化石發現於德國的Stubensandstein地層下層、以及美國的Dockum組、欽爾組(Chinle Formation),地質年代為諾利階與雷蒂亞階[2][3]。在格陵蘭Flemming Fjord地層發現的化石,也被編入於副正體龍,地質年代為諾利階[4]。
副正體龍的背部中央有帶狀的寬鱗甲,表面有溝痕、凹處。副正體龍的身體兩側鱗甲呈角狀,往後側向延伸,類似正體龍亞科的正體龍[5]。每塊鱗甲的後方有明顯的突出部,與後方鱗甲重疊[6]。
