Species
[edit]The genus Gelanesaurus contains two species which are recognized as being valid.[2]
- Gelanesaurus cochranae (C. Burt & M. Burt, 1931) – Cochran's neusticurus
- Gelanesaurus flavogularis (Altamirano-Benavides, Zaher, Lobo, Grazziotin, Sales Nunes & Rodrigues, 2013)
Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Gelanesaurus.
