Science - Zoology / dinosaurs
English term or phrase: eglialasaurs

je traduis un texte parlant de dinosaures, mais je n'ai pas trouvé la traduction pour le terme "eglialasaurs", auriez-vous une idée ?

Aphanizocnemus est considéré par ces auteurs comme un dolichosaure présentant un degré d'adaptation à la vie aquatique plus poussé que les autres dolichosaures et aigialosaures. Il pourrait occuper une position phylogénétique intermédiaire entre les aigialosaures et les mosasaures

The conventional characterisation of an ‘aigialosaur’ is that

first described aigialosaurs were found in the Cenomanianaged
rocks along the coast of the Adriatic Sea;
