Benthosphenus is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian [1] (SHISHKIN & LOZOVSKY, 1979). Type specimen: PIN 3785/1. Its type locality is Russky Island, which is in a Smithian marine horizon in the Russian Federation. Age range: 251.3 to 247.2 Ma. Distribution: found only at Russky Island.
Angusaurus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae.
Brevidorsum is an extinct genus of dissorophoidean euskelian temnospondyl within the family Dissorophidae.
Batrachosuchoides is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian from the Early Triassic of Russia. It was found in the Baskunchakskaia Series and the Lestanshorskaya Svita.
Batrachosaurus is an extinct genus of prehistoric brachyopoid amphibian that lived in Germany during the Middle Triassic (Ladinian). The genus was named by Joseph Fitzinger in 1837 and the type species, B. jaegeri, was named three years later in 1840. It may have been the same animal as Mastodonsaurus.
Batrachiderpeton is an extinct genus of nectridean lepospondyl within the family Diplocaulidae; it was a basal member of the family. The type species is B. reticulatum and was found in a coal field in Northumberland, England at a locality that also yields the remains of Anthracosaurus russelli. A second species is also known: B. lineatum.
Crinodon is an extinct genus of microsaur within the family Tuditanidae. The type and only species C. limnophyes was found in Carboniferous deposits of Nyrany and described by M. C. Steen in 1938 as Ricnodon limnophyes. It was assigned to the new genus Crinodon by R. L. Carroll and P. Gaskill in 1978.
Chomatobatrachus is a genus of prehistoric temnospondyl from the Triassic.
Erythrobatrachus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae. The sole species Erythrobatrachus noonkanbahensis was separated to a monotypic genus, distinguishing it from related taxa when the description was published in 1972. The type material was a matrix cast revealing the impression of several fragments of skull excavated at the Blina Shale formation in the northwest of the Australian continent. The genus name is derived from ancient Greek, combining terms for red, erythro, with frog, batrachos, to describe the iron staining of the fossilised amphibian specimens. The type location described by the specific epithet was Noonkanbah Station.
Dolichopareias is an extinct genus of prehistoric amphibian.
Deltacephalus is an extinct genus of prehistoric stereospondyl temnospondyl from Madagascar.
Indobenthosuchus is an extinct genus of stereospondyl temnospondyl.
Limnogyrinus is an extinct genus of dissorophoidean euskelian temnospondyl within the family Micromelerpetontidae.
Rewana is an extinct genus of prehistoric temnospondyls. Two species have been described from the Arcadia Formation of Australia.
Vanastega is an extinct genus of Triassic temnospondyl amphibian in the family Brachyopidae. It is known from the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone in Burgersdorp, South Africa. The genus contains just one species, Vanastega plurimidens, the type species.
Plagiorophus is an extinct genus of prehistoric plagiosaurid. It is known from the Middle Triassic Bukobay Formation (Ladinian) and Donguz Formation (Anisian) of Russia.
Peltostega is an extinct genus of prehistoric trematosaurians. The type is the only known species, Peltostega erici It is known from the Early Triassic Kongressfjellet Formation of Svalbard and Jan Mayen.
Palaeomolgophis is an extinct genus of eel-like prehistoric amphibian containing a single species—Palaeomolgophis scoticus. Their limbs are much reduced, and they were probably fully aquatic.
Tirraturhinus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae. The type species is T. smisseni.
Thabanchuia is an extinct genus of dvinosaurian temnospondyl within the family Tupilakosauridae. It is known from the Lystrosaurus Assemblage Zone in Thaba N'chu, Free State, South Africa. The genus contains just one species, Thabanchuia oomie, the type species.
Stoschiosaurus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae. It lived during the Early Triassic in what is now Greenland. Fossils were found in the Wordie Creek Formation.
