Extinct genus of amphibians

Sangaia Temporal range: Early Triassic ~252.3–247.2 Ma PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Sangaia lavinai, at Museum of Geological History of Rio Grande do Sul, found in Rota Paleontológica Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Clade: Tetrapoda Order: †Temnospondyli Suborder: †Stereospondyli Family: †Rhytidosteidae Genus: †Sangaia Dias-da-Silva & Marsicano, 2006 Species S. lavinai (Dias-da-Silva et al., 2006) (type) Synonyms Cabralia lavinai Dias-da-Silva et al., 2006

***Sangaia*** is an [extinct](/source/Extinct) [genus](/source/Genus) of [rhytidosteid](/source/Rhytidosteidae) [temnospondyl](/source/Temnospondyl) from the early [Triassic](/source/Triassic) [period](/source/Period_(geology)) of [Rio Grande do Sul](/source/Rio_Grande_do_Sul), [Brazil](/source/Brazil). It is known from the [holotype](/source/Holotype) UMVT 4302, the left half of a partial [skull](/source/Skull), a partial palate, from the paratype UMVT 4303, a partial right palatal fragment and from the referred specimens PV 0497 T and MCN PV 2606, skull fragments, recovered from the [Sanga do Cabral Formation](/source/Sanga_do_Cabral_Formation) in the [Rośario do Sul Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ro%C5%9Bario_do_Sul_Group&action=edit&redlink=1).[1]

## Taxonomy

This taxon originally was named *Cabralia lavinai* by Sérgio Dias-da-Silva, Claudia Marsicano and Cesar Leandro Schultz in [2006](/source/2006_in_paleontology) but this name was preoccupied by the Brazilian moth *[Cabralia](/source/Cabralia)* (Moore, 1882).[1] Thus, Dias-da-Silva and Marsicano proposed *Sangaia* as a replacement generic name later in 2006.[2]
