Extinct family of temnospondyls

Heylerosaurids Temporal range: Middle Triassic–Late Triassic PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Skull of Eocyclotosaurus woschmidti Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Clade: Tetrapoda Order: †Temnospondyli Suborder: †Stereospondyli Clade: †Capitosauria Superfamily: †Mastodonsauroidea Family: †Heylerosauridae Shishkin, 1980

**Heylerosauridae** is a [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) of [mastodonsauroid](/source/Mastodonsauroidea) [temnospondyls](/source/Temnospondyl). It was first named in 1980 to include the genera *[Odenwaldia](/source/Odenwaldia)* and *[Quasicyclotosaurus](/source/Quasicyclotosaurus)*.[1] In addition to these genera, the family now includes *[Eocyclotosaurus](/source/Eocyclotosaurus)* and *[Yuanansuchus](/source/Yuanansuchus)*.[2] Recent phylogenetic analyses have not found a close relationship between *Odenwaldia* and other heylerosaurids and place it outside the family. Heylerosaurids are generally regarded as the [sister taxon](/source/Sister_taxon) of the [stenotosaurids](/source/Stenotosauridae).[3]
