The list includes all commonly accepted genera, but also genera that are now considered invalid, doubtful (nomina dubia), or were not formally published (nomina nuda), as well as junior synonyms of more established names, and genera that are no longer considered amphibians. Modern forms are excluded from this list.
In 1946, E.C. Case revised Williston's name to Permoplatyops parvus, as the genus name "Platyops" was already in use. [18] He brought up the possibility that the skulls were from an extremely young Diplocaulus , and in response Olson (1951) designated D. pusillus (and therefore Permoplatyops parvus ) as a synonym of one of the other red bed ...

"Labyrinthodontia" (Greek, 'maze-toothed') is an informal grouping of extinct predatory amphibians which were major components of ecosystems in the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras (about 390 to 150 million years ago).
Features of the ancient amphibian. The presence of teeth and other modern features of this prehistoric species can help researchers to better understand the evolutionary transition amphibians went ...
Other Megalocephalus fossils found in the 1860s had been referred to other large amphibians, namely Pteroplax and Anthracosaurus. Two well-preserved skulls and associated jaw bones were found in Newsham in 1870 and 1871, though these were also mistakenly referred to a pre-existing genus, Loxomma. In 1873, Thomas P. Barkas named a pair of new ...
Temnospondyli (from Greek τέμνειν, temnein 'to cut' and σπόνδυλος, spondylos 'vertebra') or temnospondyls is a diverse ancient order of small to giant tetrapods—often considered primitive amphibians—that flourished worldwide during the Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic periods, with fossils being found on every continent.
