Both species are compared with the North American taxa <i>P. overtoni</i> (KU 950, the holotype), <i>P.? overloni</i> (SDSM 3393), <i>P. rapax</i> (AMNH 1490),? <i>Prognathodon</i> (FMNH PR 165) and <i>\"Prognathodon\" crassartus</i> (AMNH 1562). <i>P. sotvayi</i> and <i>P. giganteus</i> are less similar to each other than are <i>P. giganteus</i> and SDSM 3393, referred to <i>P. overtoni</i> by RUSSELL (1967), especially with regard to overall shape and size. Because of the very fragmentary holotype material of <i>P. overtoni</i> comparisons with it are restricted. Characters critical in the classification of <i>Prognathodon</i> (such as dentition, zygosphenes, zygantra and haemal arches) are re-assessed. Re-evaluation of these characters induces changes in the generic assignments of the taxa within the Plioplatecarpinae. <i>\"Prognathodon\"</i> crassartus is reassigned to <i>Plioplatecarpus</i>. The status of FMNH PR 165, referred to <i>Prognathodon</i> by RUSSELL (1970) is questioned on the basis of conflicting diagnostic characters; it is a large plioptatecarpine mosasaur probably more closely related to <i>Selmasaurus</i> or <i>Plioplatecarpus</i>. <i>Dollosaurus</i> IAKOVLEV, 1901 is synonymised wiih <i>Prognathodon</i>. The ecology of <i>Prognathodon</i> and certain other mosasaurs of Belgium is discussed and comparisons are made with other aquatic vertebrates.","AbstractOtherLang":"L'ostéologie des mosasaures <i>Prognathodon solvayi</i> et <i>P. giganteus</i> est décrite en détail pour la première fois. <i>P. solvayi</i> est connu par l'holotype IRSNB R33, un crâne entier avec des os postcrâniens incomplets, et par les spécimens fragmentaires IRSNB RI07 et IRSNB R108. <i>P. giganteus</i> est représenté par un matériel crânien fragmentaire et des restes postcrâniens de l'holotype IRSNB R106. Les deux espèces sont comparées avec les taxons nord-américains <i>Prognathodon overtoni</i> (KU 950, l'holotype). <i>P.? overtoni</i> (SDSM 3393), <i>Prognathodon rapax</i> (AMNH 1490), ? <i>Prognathodon</i> (FMNH PR 165) et <i>\"Prognathodon\" crassartus</i> (AMNH 1562). <i>Prognathodon solvayi</i> et <i>P. giganteus</i> sont moins semblables entre eux que ne le sont <i>P. giganteus</i> et le spécimen SDSM 3393, attribué à <i>P. overtoni</i> par RUSSELL (1967) surtout d'après la forme générale et la taille. les comparaisons sont restreintes avec la dernière espèce dont l'holotype est très fragmentaire. Les caractères importants de la classification de <i>Prognathodon</i> (comme la dentition, les zygosphènes, zygantres et arcs hémaux) sont réévalués. La nouvelle compréhension de ces caractères entraîne des changements dans les attributions génériques de taxons appartenant aux Plioplatecarpinae. <i>Prognathodon crassartus</i> est nouvellement attribué à <i>Plioplatecarpus</i>. Le statut du spécimen FMNH PR 165, appartenant à <i>Prognathodon</i> selon RtissELL (1970), est mis en doute d'après des caractères diagnostiques contradictoires; il s'agit d'un grand mosasaure de la sous-famille des <i>Plioplatecarpinae</i> probablement plus proche de <i>Selmasaurus</i> ou de <i>Plioplatecarpus</i>. <i>Dollosaurus</i> IAKOVLEV, 1901 est mis en synonymie avec <i>Prognathodon</i>. L'écologie de <i>Prognathodon</i> et de certains autres mosasaures de Belgique est discutée et certaines comparaisons sont établies avec d'autres vertébrés aquatiques.
