Indolyrocephalus is an extinct genus of temnospondyls belonging to the family Trematosauridae. It contains a single species, I. huxleyi, from the Early Triassic Panchet Formation of India. [1] It was initially classified in Gonioglyptus , then into its own genus Indolyrocephalus, and then back into Gonioglyptus [2] , but is presently placed in Indolyrocephalus once again. [3] [4]
