Hupehsuchus was a small genus of marine reptile, about 1 meter (3 ft) long. It was found in the area of Hubei in China. This marine reptile lived in the Olenekian stage of the Early Triassic period. Hupehsuchus was similar to its close cousin, Nanchangosaurus, but differed from it in a number of ways. For example, Hupehsuchus had heavier armor on its back than Nanchangosaurus, and its back spines were more finely divided, giving it a more crocodile-like appearance than Nanchangosaurus. It had a thin, long snout like a gharial, river dolphin, or ichthyosaur, which it probably used to snag fish or probe for aquatic invertebrates.
