Comonecturoides is an extinct genus of prehistoric caudate amphibians, possibly a salamander, from Reed's Quarry 9 of the Morrison Formation, near Como Bluff, Wyoming; the type species is C. marshi.[1][2][3] It is considered a nomen dubium because the name is based on non-distinctive remains which cannot be classified in detail.[3]
