Barbatteius is an extinct genus of teiidlizard represented by the type speciesBarbatteius vremiri from the Late Cretaceous of Romania. B. vremiri was named in 2016 on the basis of a well preserved skull from the Haţeg Basin and differs from other teiids in having more prominent osteoderms covering the skull roof. It is also large for a teiid, with an estimated total body length of 80 centimetres (31 in). Barbatteius lived on Haţeg Island during the early Maastrichtian stage and was part of an isolated island fauna. However, its close affinities with teiids from Gondwana and its co-occurrence with paramacellodid and borioteiioid lizards from Euramerica suggests that Haţeg Island was colonized by lizards multiple times from many different areas of the world.[1]
