 In 1842, Owen again mentioned the taxon as a subgenus, subsequently he and other workers would use it as a full genus "Suchosaurus".In 1842 and 1878 Owen referred some vertebrae (backbones) to "Suchosaurus", but these were later identified by Richard Lydekker as likely belonging to ornithischian dinosaurs instead.In 1884, Owen indicated a tooth as ""Suchosaurus leavidens"" in a caption, this is usually seen as a "lapsus calami" (or "slip of the pen") because this species is not further mentioned.
