"Stegosaurides" (meaning "roof lizard form") is a genus of ankylosaurid (or possibly stegosaurian) dinosaur. It lived during the Late Cretaceous. Its fossils were found in the Xinminbao Formation near Heishan in Gansu Province in China. These fossils consist of fragmentary material, including spinal elements. The genus is occasionally misspelled as "Stegosauroides".

Discovery and species

The type species is "Stegosaurides excavatus", formally described by Birger Bohlin in 1953. It is currently a "nomen dubium" as the material is meagre; a couple of vertebrae and the base of a dermal spine.
