Extinct family of temnospondyls

Lapillopsidae Temporal range: Early Triassic PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Restoration of Lapillopsis nana Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Clade: Tetrapoda Order: †Temnospondyli Suborder: †Stereospondyli Family: †Lapillopsidae Genera Lapillopsis Manubrantlia Rhigerpeton Rotaurisaurus

**Lapillopsidae** is an extinct family of [temnospondyls](/source/Temnospondyli).

*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]
