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]
