Diplocaulus (meaning "double stalk") is an extinct genus of lepospondyl amphibians which lived from the Late Carboniferous to the Late Permian of North America and Africa. Diplocaulus is by far the largest and best-known of the lepospondyls, characterized by a distinctive boomerang -shaped skull .
Lepospondyli is a diverse taxon of early tetrapods.With the exception of one late-surviving lepospondyl from the Late Permian of Morocco (Diplocaulus minimus), [6] lepospondyls lived from the Visean stage of the Early Carboniferous to the Early Permian and were geographically restricted to what is now Europe and North America.

Microsaurs are known from Europe and North America. Microsaur remains have been found from Europe and North America in Late Carboniferous and Early Permian localities. Most North American microsaurs have been found in the United States in Arizona, [8] Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, [9] Illinois, as well as Kansas and Nebraska, [10] although remains have also been found in Nova Scotia.
