A frontal of the mosasaur Clidastes propython from the Beloe Ozero locality in the Saratov Region (Rybushka Formation, Campanian Stage, Upper Cretaceous) is described. The investigated specimen differs from the frontals of other members of the genus Clidastes in the relatively straight lateral flanks. Reliable records of Clidastes outside America have previously been reported only from Great Britain, Sweden, and Germany. The new record from the Beloe Ozero locality expands the known geographical range of the species C. propython and genus Clidastes.
