Teleocrater (meaning "completed basin", in reference to its closed acetabulum) is a genus of avemetatarsalian archosaur from the Middle Triassic Manda Formation of Tanzania. The name was coined by English paleontologist Alan Charig in his 1956 doctoral dissertation, but was only formally published in 2017 by Sterling Nesbitt and colleagues. The genus contains the type and only species T. rhadinus. Uncertainty over the affinities of "Teleocrater" have persisted since Charig's initial publication; they were not resolved until Nesbitt "et al." performed a phylogenetic analysis. They found that "Teleocrater" is most closely related to the similarly enigmatic "Yarasuchus", "Dongusuchus", and "Spondylosoma" in a group that was named the Aphanosauria. Aphanosauria was found to be the sister group of the Ornithodira, the group containing dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
