Abstract
A new early dinosaur, _Unaysaurus tolentinoi_ gen. et sp. nov., from the 
continental Late Triassic red beds of the Caturrita Formation 
(Carnian-Norian, c. 225 million years old) of southern Brazil is
described. _U. tolentinoi_ is represented by a semi-articulated skeleton 
comprising an almost complete skull, lower jaw and postcranial elements. It 
differs from all other dinosaurs by several cranial (e.g. developed 
laterodorsally oriented process formed by frontal and parietal; deep ventral 
depression on the basisphenoid) and postcranial (presence of a conspicuous 
blunt ridge running on the lateral surface of the deltopectoral crest of 
humerus) characters. _Unaysaurus_ represents the first ?prosauropod? grade 
dinosaur from Brazil and a preliminary phylogenetic analysis indicates it to 
be closely related to the European _Plateosaurus_ (Plateosauridae). The 
relationships of the ?Prosauropoda?, however, are still controversial and 
more comprehensive studies are needed before a clear picture of the 
evolution and paleobiogeographic distributions of these dinosaurs can be 
presented.
