Microdontosaurus

"Microdontosaurus" (meaning "tiny-toothed lizard") is the name given to an as yet undescribed genus of sauropod dinosaur from China. It was named from fossils from the Middle Jurassic-age Dapuka Group of Xinjiang, and assigned to the Homalosaurpoidea, an outdated classification of diplodocids and titanosaurs. The intended type species is "M. dayensis."[1] As with other informal names created by Zhao in 1985 or 1983, it has not been used since then, and may have been redescribed under another name.
