Ilchunaia is an extinct genus of sebecid mesoeucrocodylian. Fossils have been found from the Divisadero Largo Formation of Argentina dating back to the Late Eocene,[1][2][3] and a locality in Mendoza, Argentina dating back to the Oligocene.[4][5] Little material is known from the genus, with only the anterior portion of the skull being present to study (the holotype has since been lost).[6][7]
