The genus was in 1932 named by
Friedrich von Huene. The generic name refers to
Jabalpur in India, in the vicinity of which the fossils were found. The
type species,
Jubbulpuria tenuis, was described by Huene and
Charles Alfred Matley in 1933. The
specific name means "slender" in
Latin. Its fossil specimens were found by Matley in 1917-19 or 1932 within the
Lameta Formation, dating from the
Maastrichtian. They consist of two
syntypes, GSI K27/614 and GSI K20/612, each being a partial distal caudal
vertebra. A third distal tail vertebra, GSI K27/599, has been referred to the species. == Description ==
