Lapillopsis Manubrantlia Rhigerpeton Rotaurisaurus

Lapillopsidae is an extinct family of temnospondyls.

Lapillopsis was found as the sister to Rotaurisaurus in a 1999 analysis that found the Lapillopsidae as basal stereospondyls. ^[1] Lapillopsis was found as a sister to Dissorophoidea by a 2017 analysis. ^[2] Another relative of Lapillopsis, Manubrantlia was described from the Early Triassic of India, ^[3] and Rhigerpeton was found in Antarctica. ^[4]
