Machimosauridae is an extinct family of teleosauroid thalattosuchian crocodyliforms.[1] The family was first identified in 2016,[2] when fossils of teleosauroid thalattosuchians, including an indeterminate close relative of Lemmysuchus and Machimosaurus, were described from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of Morocco.[2] The family was largely expanded in 2020 when the systematics of Teleosauroidea were re-reviewed.[1] Members of this family generally were larger than the teleosaurids.[1]
