'''''Capulomala''''' is an [[extinct]] [[genus]] of [[stereospondyl]] [[temnospondyl]] known from the [[Early Triassic]]. Separate species are recognised, '''''C. panchetensis''''' found in the [[Panchet Formation]] of India and '''''C. arcadiaensis''''' from the [[Arcadia Formation, Australia|Arcadia Formation]] of Australia.<ref>Warren, Anne & Damiani, R. & Sengupta, Dhurjati. (2009). Unique stereospondyl mandibles from the early triassic panchet formation of India and the Arcadia Formation of Australia.

==Description== ''Capulomala'' is described on the basis of postglenoid areas of the mandible, which possess a uniquely hypertrophied postglenoid process. ''Capulomala'' cannot be reliably associated with any known cranial material.
